How safety cameras can help a local hospital:
"They reduce the speed at which people drive. With reduced speeds, drivers are less likely to hit pedestrians or collide with another car.
"This then equates to less people coming to us through A&E which in turn, frees up more of our resources, reduces waiting times for appointments or treatments and ultimately allows us to offer people a better quality of care." - Dr Ray McGlone, Lead A&E Consultant for University Hospitals of Morcambe Bay
