Conclusion (the committee's words)
The way in which first responders intervene after a terrorist attack could be the difference between life and death. Those working at the venues or premises captured Terrorism (Protection of Premises) draft Bill 29 by the Draft Bill will most likely be the ones who are able to help provide immediate medical assistance. The Draft Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill provides an opportunity for the Government to ensure that large-scale venues and public premises roll out appropriate medical training to staff, including security officers, on how to respond to casualties after a terrorist attack has taken place.
