London hospitals have no excuse for not sharing violent crime data
Caroline Pidgeon has criticised the lack of participation by St George's hospital, and the Chelsea and Westminster NHS trust, in a scheme that aims to tackle hidden violence on the street by reporting anonymised information about violent injuries.
Caroline told the Evening Standard:
"This data-sharing scheme is highly effective. For a hospital, especially in London, to opt out of the scheme is truly horrific. As the scheme does not involve any breach of personal data there really is no excuse.”
Caroline spent last Friday canvassing for Rebecca MacNair in Thornton Ward, Lambeth before popping to the launch of the latest Tara Binns children's book written by former Southwark Lib Dem councillor Lisa Rajan.
