Leader of A&E doctors on 'disruption' caused by drunks

The leader of A&E doctors in the UK is urging action to stop hospitals becoming clogged up with drunks.

President of the College of Emergency Medicine Dr Clifford Mann says more people who are drunk and disorderly should face criminal prosecution.

He told BBC presenter Joanna Gosling that it was often the drunk friends and companions of those admitted to hospital who then "milled around causing disruption".
