Text
I thank the Member for his question and for the interest that he has shown. I was in the Mater Hospital last week, where I heard a number of horrendous stories. I will not share them with the House, because the narratives would identify specific nurses and put them back at risk of injury or abuse. I heard, however, of one young nurse who had to negotiate her way through the rioters and the barricades at Carlisle Circus. That is not right. It is not right at all. That was the subject of one of the communications that I had with the Chief Constable. I assure the Member that Mr Boutcher took the issue very seriously indeed.
