What the source explains
The reply describes advisories on trained security, CCTV and response teams, control rooms, managed entry, institutional FIRs, displayed legal protections, a nodal officer for negligence concerns, staffing and infrastructure. It also discusses state responsibilities. This is a dated government statement: its IPC/CrPC references and epidemic-specific provisions should not be read as a complete current guide to every assault case.
Using this reading in your hospital
Use the nine measures to structure a hospital review and identify the person responsible for each area. Keep current legal guidance alongside the historical statement. The detailed preparedness page on this site expands the operational questions without claiming that every measure is already implemented.
A question for your team
Which of the nine areas has a documented plan but no current owner or budget?
