IT is a matter of shame for this town that staff at the Royal Bolton Hospital are regularly attacked by patients and their relatives. Verbal and physical abuse should result in automatic prosecution and tough sentencing, and they should also be banned from the hospital for life.
Such yobs of all ages, and both sexes, deserve the suspension of the Hippocratic Oath and the introduction of Anti-Social Behaviour Orders.
