Abstract

In November 1986, 141 people attended the Accident and Emergency (A and E) Department of the Cardiff Royal Infirmary as a result of deliberate violence (assault). This represented 2.3% of new attendances at an estimated cost of pounds 10,591 for investigation and management. The workloads imposed on A and E Departments and the financial burden on the NHS are considerable.
