Neil added:"It just seems to have changed the atmosphere at work and it's certainly made me question whether I want to continue being a nurse." Mr Javid said a move to make vaccines compulsory would ensure patient safety and reduce the NHS backlog.Speaking during a visit to Moorfields Eye Hospital, the health secretary said:"It's right that we do everything we can to protect the most vulnerable from this virus, that is why we have already insisted that those staff that work in care homes get vaccinated and I think people know why that's so important.
"The reason we have launched this consultation today for the health sector, for the NHS, is because obviously hospitals are full of vulnerable people and I think it's our duty to make sure that we are considering this. "We haven't made a decision but we do want to listen to what people have to say because I think it is important that we show that patient safety will always be a priority."
