Swansea BCRP to ban violent hospital patients from pubs and clubs


Working with police, local hospitals and the Safer Swansea partnership, Swansea BCRP has agreed a process to exclude from city centre pubs and clubs people who are taken to hospital either as patients or who are accompanying patients, if they are violent or abusive to staff and it is established that they have been drinking in the city centre.

The plan was announced by the Safer Swansea Partnership as part of its annual Call Time on Violent Crime campaign launched as the Christmas party season gears up.

Norma Thomas, Swansea BCRP crime manager said, 'This scheme will send out a strong message about responsible drinking and about the consequences of abusing or assaulting hospital staff who are trying to do their work in difficult conditions.  The exclusion will be for a minimum of six months and may be for much longer for where a member of staff has been assaulted.  It will apply where police are called to deal with a person in hospital and who is then either arrested and cautioned or charged and convicted of an offence in relation to their conduct at the hospital. 

'The hospitals and police are supporting this fully and we hope that the threat of being excluded from all the pubs and club venues in the city will make people think before they abuse hospital staff.'
