Lord John Mann, the government independent advisor on antisemitism, was commissioned by the Secretary of State of Health and Social Care and the Prime Minister in October 2025 to lead a review into how the NHS and its regulatory system recognises, reports, and tackles antisemitism and other forms of racism, following multiple cases of intolerable antisemitism.

Lord Mann’s report sets out a comprehensive set of recommendations to:

• strengthen accountability
• improve reporting and investigation processes
• embed an anti-racist culture across the health system to ensure that patients and staff are better protected from discrimination and abuse.
