Barbara Wilding, Chief Constable of South Wales Police and Edwina Hart AM, Minister for Health and Social Services in Wales, sign a Memorandum of Understanding for violence against NHS staff to be more fully investigated.
Figures show there were more than 7,000 violent or aggressive incidents in the NHS in Wales in 2007-2008.
Ms Wilding signed the deal, a memorandum of understanding allowing new protocols for investigating incidents against health workers, on behalf of Wales' four police forces.
Speaking at the event at Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board's Morriston Hospital in Swansea, she said a tough approach needed to be taken against such offenders, which could include them no longer being allowed to use NHS services.
