(BBC) Policy changes mean the delay in medics getting to the Manchester Arena attack casualties “would not happen now,” the inquiry into the bombing has been told.
The Manchester Arena inquiry has heard help was held up after the 2017 bombing because of fears of more attacks.
Counter Terrorism Policing Deputy Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist told a hearing policies now provided “a flexible tool” for quick deployment.
He said front-line PCs would also soon be trained in advanced first aid.
The inquiry into the bombing, which killed 22 people and injured hundreds more, has started looking into ways of shortening the “care gap,” a term used to describe the inevitable delay in trained medical professionals getting to a major incident.
