Shadow health secretary Wes Streeting has called for a new investigation into an NHS worker who filmed and shared video of a naked patient. LBC has discovered that the NHS worker who filmed it will not face a police investigation. Mr Streeting told LBC today: "This should be reinvestigated. There can only be two outcomes.
Either a crime has been committed, in which case this person needs to face the full force of the law - or we have it confirmed that actually there’s a gap in the law in which case it would need to be filled. "This is completely unacceptable. Anyone who goes into the NHS as a patient… deserves to feel safe."

Shortly after arriving, Rebecca experienced a severe behavioural episode in the ward’s seclusion suite and was tended to by nurses and mental health professionals. CCTV footage captured one mental health support worker pretending to type on their phone screen whilst secretly filming Rebecca, who was fully undressed and understood to have been performing an explicit act.
