Response
Historic
Require inquiry and review of previous hospital admissions for suspected deliberate harm.
Recommendation
When a child is admitted to hospital and deliberate harm is suspected, the doctor or nurse admitting the child must inquire about previous admissions to hospital. In the event of a positive response, information concerning the previous admissions must be obtained from the other hospitals. The consultant in charge of the case must review this information when making decisions about the child’s future care and management. Hospital chief executives must introduce systems to ensure compliance with this recommendation.
