"Lord Mann is going to do a review of the NHS for us. There are just too many examples, clear examples, of antisemitism that have not been dealt with adequately or effectively. So we need to do that review. We've already put in place management training in relation to the NHS, but I think we need a wider review, because in some cases, clear cases are simply not being dealt with, and so we need to get to the root of that."
"Starmer also said universities had been too slow in dealing with cases of antisemitism, singling out the University of Oxford, which is understood to have suspended a student on Wednesday after he was arrested on suspicion of inciting racial hatred. The student is alleged to have chanted for Gaza to put the Zios in the ground during a protest in London on Saturday. Starmer said: Look at Oxford this week. That was a slow reaction to the clearest of cases."
Keir Starmer ordered a review of how antisemitism is handled in the NHS and appointed Lord John Mann to lead the review. The review responds to examples of antisemitism in the health service that have not been dealt with adequately despite existing management training. Starmer announced 10m for security at Jewish amenities including synagogues and schools during a visit to the Community Security Trust. He criticized universities for slow responses to antisemitism, citing the University of Oxford's handling of a student arrested on suspicion of inciting racial hatred. Recent statistics show antisemitic hate crime near record levels following a synagogue attack in Manchester.
