The number of people attending A&E jumped by nearly a quarter as serious violence surged after lockdown measures were eased last year.

A study by Cardiff University found that violence leapt by 23% between 2020 and 2021 – the biggest jump since records began in 2001. The figures for England and Wales showed that an estimated 146,856 people attended A&E for violence-related injury in 2021, with violence peaking in August 2021. Wales moved fully into alert level one from July 17, 2021 while most legal limits on social contact were removed in England on July 19, 2021 and nightclubs reopened.
