What are the long-term systemic changes needed to address both patient violence and the high incidence of preventable pressure sores within the NHS?

Future implications include potential increases in security budgets and staff training to mitigate violence, alongside a review of legal processes to reduce costs.

Further investigation into the root causes of patient violence, such as substance abuse and mental health issues, is crucial.
