Emergency Planning - Are we ready? |
| The UK Home Office
has built a website to advise us on what to do in the event
of a terrorist attack - but is the government itself ready to
deal with an assault? At the end of 2002, a National Audit Office
report found that the National Health Service is unprepared
for a terrorist attack 'involving biological, chemical or radioactive
weapons'. What's the plan behind the 'emergency planning'? |
