Astonishment at levels of violent crime at Addenbrooke’s
Geoff as the local County Councillor has expressed his astonishment and frustration at the level of violent attacks on staff in the Hospital during the last three months – which saw 15 such instances. At the recent Area Committee held at Homerton College – he stated his view that such attacks were both unacceptable and should receive severe sentences when they come before the Courts.
Meanwhile he sought assurance that Security systems and staff were doing all they could to deal with the problem and working actively with the Local Police to detect those responsible. The local neighbourhood Police Sgt – Gavin Townsend indicated that he met with the Security Manager each month. Clearly an issue to keep a close eye on over the coming months.
