A major search was launched on Plymouth Hoe last night after emergency services were called over concerns for the welfare of a man. 

The ambulance service raised concerns about the welfare of a man, which led [HM Coastguard](https://www.plymouthplus.co.uk/tag/hm-coastguard/), [RNLI](https://www.plymouthplus.co.uk/tag/rnli/), and the police to conduct land and sea searches.

The [RNLI](https://www.plymouthplus.co.uk/tag/rnli/) inshore lifeboat, alongside [HM Coastguard](https://www.plymouthplus.co.uk/tag/hm-coastguard/) rescue teams from both Plymouth and Looe responded. 

Police have confirmed that the man was safely located near [Plymouth Hoe](https://www.plymouthplus.co.uk/tag/plymouth-hoe/) and taken to [Derriford Hospital](https://www.plymouthplus.co.uk/tag/derriford-hospital/) as a precaution.
