NHS Reveal A&E Action Plan For Busy Summer
The NHS has revealed its plans for dealing with an influx of patients during an increasingly busy summer.
These will include drunken revellers will be treated in "booze buses" and field hospitals and have injuries stitched up at the roadside.
One central London hospital is being put on "semi internal major incident" alert from Monday ready for the Queen's diamond jubilee celebrations next weekend, adopting a protocol usually only seen on New Year's Eve.
Doctors, ambulance services and the police are finalising measures to keep those who have been binge drinking during the jubilee celebrations, Euro 2012 and the Olympics out of A&E to ensure hospitals do not become overwhelmed.

A 45-year-old lorry driver died when a lorry laden with vodka caught fire in a crash on the M25 in Essex.
The vehicle collided with another lorry between junctions 27 and 28 near Brentwood at about 01:00 BST. The second driver suffered minor injuries.
It happened after police set up a rolling roadblock to slow traffic and remove debris from an HGV tyre blowout from the carriageway.
The crash led to the closure of the motorway in both directions.
