Ensuring proper provision of medical care 'does not seem to have got any further forward', says Arena bomb inquiry chairman
Ensuring proper provision of medical care at large music arenas and venues 'does not seem to have got any further forward' despite the harrowing evidence of the Manchester Arena public inquiry into the bombing and its many recommendations, its chairman has said.
Since 2019, the CQC has been proposing to change the rules to remove an exemption and bring healthcare providers at events into its remit, the inquiry heard. Ms Frederick said it was the CQC's 'number one priority'. The findings led the chairman to make a series of key recommendations for all concert and event venues to drive up standards and public safety.
"The important area of ensuring that there is proper provision of medical care at large arenas does not seem to have got any further forward despite the concerns and representations of the Care Quality Commission," said Sir John. "I do not regard this as satisfactory and recommend that urgent action is taken to rectify a situation that we were told was causing loss of life."
"That recommendation was supported by the SIA. The government has not implemented it because it is said to be 'over-regulation'. It seems that decision has been made without any consultation with the industry. It is difficult to see why there should be this distinction in training requirements and I would ask the government to think again."
Sir John said on Tuesday he was 'approaching the time' when he would be notifying the Home Secretary that the terms of reference for the public inquiry have been fulfilled, meaning its work will come to a close and the inquiry will formally end. But he said it was 'important' a series of recommendations he made are implemented.
