Ceisteanna (638)

Cathal Crowe

Ceist:

638. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Health what would be required for the local injuries unit protocols to be changed for paediatric patients under five years, to permit treatment for minor injuries that is, burns breaks sprains and so on, to limbs and extremities arms, legs, hands and feet while continuing to refer head and torso injuries to the ED with the understanding that the former are very common in small children while the latter can require specialist paediatric diagnostics.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
