Nexa - Thankfully I only had to submit written evidence about how healthcare information can/should be better shared with social care, but the detailed briefings I attended made me want to weep and vomit in equal measures. Like with the Climbie case, when we start sharing data we find children repeatedly attending different ER's with the same 'mysterious' injuries. Those patterns could've saved Victoria and countless others.
Thread derail, but **** off:
While that's great and all, do you, personally, think it has any effect on whether or not parent's opt to take their children to get medical attention now...seeing as how even going to a different hospital isn't going to let them fly under the radar? Also: does this new system have any new incentives for folks to report anonymously or anything of that nature (perhaps to help offset the people not taking their children to hospitals due to the new system)? Maybe I'm too paranoid, but there's a real stigma attached to reporting over here if you're not a mandated reporter...and even a fear for those that are that they're just going to make things worse.
God I ******* hate the majority of the world.
Happy winter everyone, haha.
