Saturday, November 16, 2002Britain will start an education campaign using posters, mock-emergency drills and other devices to advise the public about how to respond to a biological or chemical attack, the government's chief medical officer said today. A report by the National Audit Office published on Thursday found that many of Britain's state-run hospitals and ambulance services do not have adequate plans or sufficient equipment in place to deal with an assault involving chemical, nuclear, biological or radiological weapons, or one with casualties of 500 people or more. I never thought I would say this, but at least in this respect there’s an advantage to a government-run health system. There’s someone in charge to force them to take the bioterrorism threat seriously. posted by Sydney on 11/16/2002 07:44:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
