- Met Police officers will not attend welfare checks or patients who have missed hospital appointments from 1 November.
Thousands of police hours will be reclaimed allowing officers to spend more time policing London's streets, but officers insist they will still attend incidents with a threat of harm or to life.

It wasn't the Police's responsibility in the first place . Mental Health services used to have stand by staff and on call services to deal with these situation. Think about how many staff they could employ for this purpose alone if they stopped hiring diversity managers etc .
Good call
Vulnerable people are vulnerable because society hasn’t made a safe place for them
Why is it societies responsibility?
@@1milliondogsbecause everybody is a part of society. That's what society means. We're all human beings.
@@1milliondogs because there is no option to opt out of society in the modern world and because government claims responsibility for welfare of individual members of society and because the only way the human species has survived and will cobtinue to survive is because of cooperative societies which shield the vulnerable. Even neanderthals knew that
@@TangoSierraMedia being part of a society doesn't mean that some government authority takes responsibility for the behaviour of every single person.
Grow the phuch up already
There are people with depression and suicidal thoughts who don’t seek help because it’s Police who are sent to their doors.
When a persons distressed, having short tempered, impatient, armed Police surrounding a person, giving orders, refusing to listen… and creating fear actually forces people suffering into hiding and silence.
Such an ignorant comment, most police officers are very caring and respectful, however they simply don’t have the training, knowledge or powers to properly support them.
Unless its there Family member.
The men in white coats need a reboot
Can’t believe it’s the police job for the first place. Unless violent involved, otherwise it should be the health department’s responsibility (e.g psychologist).
I remember I overdosed. The ambulance was gonna come in 4 hours. I had no choice but to call police they saved my life. Got to me in 5 minutes. And took me straight to hospital. That was last year. But I'm in a better place now I would've been dead if police never arrived
shame!
Very important to note that the Police will still respond to Immediate Life Threats here
Right call, no more risk of tasering people with seizures or epilepsy! Train more medical experts!
Ahhh the good ol days
😂😂😂
The advert preceding this video was appalling. Pure propaganda.
बहुत ही मुश्किल भरी नौकरी होती है इनकी सही समय पर सही जगह तुरंत सहायता करना ओर पहुंचाना मुश्किल भरा होता है
Bomb Gaza
It's a very difficult Job because there is not enough health professionals to cover ALL the extra people in OUR country
Friend of mine died due to kidney complications with COVID in 2021. He was found because of a welfare check
Exactly what do they respond to
Surely this puts the elderly at risk? What has the world come to😢
Like the report says; health care workers for health emergencies not police
Except that there are peopke who need help, and there are people who have been so coddled they have no clue how to care for themselves.
There are a lot of people struggling, I agree, but there are many who are flailing about with the attitude of a toddler, young and old.
There's only so much help available. Somebody who refuses to go appointments for anxiety reasons will need adjustments, but that needs time and resources to cement.
A person standing on a bridge is more priority for emergency services, who have enough wasted calls.
@@Martyre20 Yeah I was talking more about the elderly mate. Not necessarily the mental health aspect, which is also important too.
@@spartanking7842 shouldn't that responsibility fall on family if there are any. Otherwise what's the point of Social Services or the NHS. If they are not prepared to deal accordingly .
I agree to this. It,s not their responsibility in my opinion. Government using them to save cash.
Probably too busy harassing those concerned about the jihadis on our streets
Yup
It's time that there is a new service for these kind of calls the police are to protect the public not do GPS jobs while they strike do less & demand more wages !!
I have
But they will respond to "hurty" words and " thought " crimes.
Shut up
top tip: half of the "health emergencies" are incorrect diagnosis from cr4p doctors
Ehmmm...I just noticed that I actually never paid the fine for the arrest on Xmas 2005. But considering hte fact that financially supported your former therapist and Crime Victim Support therapist for the successive 8 years that would make us quite, innit?
they will respond to free coffee at Morrisons though,or people taking photographs in the street or praying in silence
Please show people helped by this instead
They don’t respond to anything anyway!
Yes they do
@@AliAdeelGaming oh yes I forgot because some British person is flying the St George flag!
Or enforcing Ulez
@@paulwoodford4974 well that’s not the police force it’s the government
Pley game my person William and kety
So the ambulance people will smash the door in will they ??? Get trained on door breaching ???? Bull crap
That implies theres a threat to life then doesnt it? The only power police have to enter if theres a threat to life is section 17 of PACE. So unless theres that, the ambulance will just have to leave wont they or talk their way in. Its not the Job of the police to respond to an MH call about a person having an Episode where they dont know who anyone is do they.
Poor reporter got arrested
If the police doesn't do it the ambulance will have to and they have their own documentaries about how busy they are in short we're f#! £/&!.
The ambulance services already respond to welfare checks and mental health calls.
بعتم الغاز للعدو بعد رفض مصر بيه

W@nkers
Are the police stopping all welfare checks?
Both homosexuals
There isn’t a domestic situation that the police can’t make worse
IDK if its a domestic murder, i cant see how the police make it worse.
