- Meeting date: 18 November 2009
Following reports that London A&E's suffer from over 20,000 attacks every year, does official information support this statistic and what, if true, can be done to protect the staff and innocent patients from assault? What figures have been reported to the Met and is there a need for greater Police presence at A&E units?
