David Kurten AM: Thank you, Chair. I would like to ask Dr Fenton.

In a recent survey of older people, Age Concern found that nearly half of over 75s are afraid to leave their home at night. What kind of out reach programmes does the Met have for helping to tackle this fear, bearing in mind that the chance of being a victim of crime decreases as one gets older? .
