title: Action against violence.
abstract: Patients who create mayhem at the Royal Hospitals NHS Trust, east London, are now handed a statement of how the trust expects them to behave and are asked to sign a contract agreeing that if they breach these standards they could be discharged and referred to another hospital. In addition, the patient's GP will be sent a letter asking for a referral elsewhere if the patient continues to make mischief.
