Mr. Robert Morton:

In the past five years, there have been, on average, 22 incidents per month that could be described as being in the category of assault. We are seeing a modest decline in the number of physical assaults but an increase in what one might describe as aggression, such as verbal assaults. There is far more aggression towards our staff. That is the feedback we are getting. As regards the impact on staff, we have injury at work grant systems. At any one time, there are approximately six people in receipt of injury at work grants. Those are average figures but there is a correlation between the two. We see far fewer people experiencing a longer-term impact from the assault than the total number of assaults, if that makes sense.
