Why are Gwent Police Officers attending a private mental hospital and who pays the cost of such an incident?

At least six officers and four police vehicles attended the scene of an incident within xxxxxxxxxxxx Hospital on 10^th November 2022.

The explanation for the attendance, as given to my ward councillors by the Hospital Director was, “if an issue arises where nurses feel uncomfortable and are incapable of handling, they must contact the police”.

I would estimate that this police presence represented a significant proportion of the available resources at that time and therefore likely to mean other calls for police assistance may be severely hampered.

Is it the Council Tax payers of Gwent who are subsidising a private enterprise that makes profits for its shareholders? Elysium, I understand is in the hands of an Australian investment company.

Press reports suggest that the Metropolitan Police ceased to provide such cover in their area a number of years ago.

I request information regarding your recent manned  speed checks outside Trellech Primary School (B4293) last week. 

The information provided on Twitter was that you scanned 50 cars. The fastest going 35 miles per hour and the average 21 mph. 

The information I request is as followed.

How many people were issued fines?

The individual speed of each of the 50 cars you scanned?

I request this information as the 1200 cars I have scanned to date record at the following

Fastest car going 58.3, mph

Average speed 31.2 mph

Obviously this contradicts your report, however, I understand cars will slow down if they know police are on the road. 

I also request an update as to when and why the speed loops have not yet been installed at Trellech, as these were planned to be installed in September for the start of the school year.
