Ambulance crews across the country are being provided with body cameras in an attempt to reduce the number of attacks on staff.
The decision follows the publication of data that revealed 3,569 ambulance staff were physically assaulted by the public last year, which is 30% up on five years ago.
The announcement follows the launch of the first-ever national Violence Prevention and Reduction Standard at the beginning of the year, with every NHS trust in the country expected to publish a plan to tackle violence towards staff.
