The secure environment at the Hospital is provided via physical, procedural and relational security. The physical security of the Hospital continues to be a major focus of attention, requiring regular review and investment.

Comprehensive contingency arrangements remain appropriate and relevant reflecting the potentially serious nature of emergency situations which could arise within The State Hospital environment. The Hospital has fully developed these arrangements in partnership with other agencies. These are rigorously tested, monitored and reviewed on a recurring basis.
