I have to leave for another meeting. However, the point at issue seems to be simple. It should only happen once. Patients and staff should not be targeted on an ongoing basis with that kind of behaviour. The people causing that trouble, as I have said before, should be dealt with somewhere else - maybe in a drug or alcohol treatment centre. The problem is they are in the queue, and other people have to wait until they are processed in one way, shape or form. That is not an effective and efficient way to deliver the core of the health services we need to deliver.
