New hospital security facility to be unveiled
Tuesday 19th August 2008
A new facility designed to enhance the security of hospitals is to be unveiled in Yorkshire.
Situated in St James's University Hospital in Leeds, the control room is described by Hutton Cranswick Today as the "nerve centre" for 700 security cameras, which will monitor activity at a number of medical institutions across the city.
The centre is due to be opened by West Yorkshire Chief Constable Sir Norman Bettison, those with hospital doctor jobs may be interested to discover.
Commenting on the development, Peter Foy, head of security for the Leeds Teaching Hospitals, said: "This is the largest and most ambitious facility anywhere in the NHS and is a major step forward in ensuring safety and security on all our sites."
Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust employs a total of more than 14,000 staff across eight sites and deals with a budget of £730 million a year.
