英伦广角 2015-01-03 为减轻英国医疗负担 NHS呼吁严打醉鬼（在线收听） |
It's the same story every weekend, A&E department stretch beyond breaking point, staff abused verbally and physically, now one of the country's leading doctors is calling on police to take a zero tolerance approach on drunks to stop valuable resources being diverted from more deserving patients.There has been a substantially increase in the number of patients and people attending A&E departments, emergency departments who are severely drunk, and indeed many of them are simply the colleagues and friends and the hangers on of the actual patients, and yet they all hang around in the cubicles and in our waiting rooms distracting our staff. The drinking industry know the importance of responsible drinking, bar staff are better trained than ever before.
What we are looking for is how they talk, how they interact with other customers, how they are able to stand and be by themselves.
But the cumulative effect of a long night out too often ends in the waiting rooms of our hospitals, alcohol fueled harm costs the economy around 21 billion pounds a year, the government said they are determined to do more, arrest for drunken behaviour are generally down, at the same time there are more and more NHS staff are complaining about receiving abuse, but the police federation said that putting more people before the court is not necessarily the answer because it will further stretch already limited police resources.
Official figure show the number of arrests are significantly down, but not all medics agree that criminalizing people is the answer.
Are we going to say that you get penalized or prosecuted if you are going drunk, are we then going to say that you get penalized or prosecuted if you end up with alcohol related disease, and if somebody trips up on the street, how do we know if it's actually as a result of alcohol.
NHS workers say education campaign has failed to stem the tide of drunk patients, and their responsible actions are taking away resources from those who genuinely need them. |
