Regarding the police, personally I would rather see more doing walkabouts than sat behind a counter. More of a police presence on the streets may well deter criminals and allow for members of the public to report something face to face.As regards closure of A&E's. Considering how fast the population is growing should they not be creating more accident and emergency centre's rather than merging them. If the one's we currently have struggle, surely all that will happen is the larger A&E's will become so busy that they will not be able to cope. After all there can only be so many numbers of cubicles/beds in A&E, the waiting areas will be like a disaster area. And in turn this will create longer waiting time's and more pressue on the staff which can only result in patients receiving lower level of care. I would have thought by having more but smaller emergency centre's this would not only help the doctor's, nurses and ambulance staff but also those in need of medical attention.
