Accident and Emergency Treatment

Volume 482: debated on Tuesday 4 November 2008

14. To ask the Secretary of State for Health what his most recent estimate is of the number and percentage of people attending hospital accident and emergency departments whose treatment could have been undertaken by a trained first aider. (232544)

No estimate has been made by the Department.

However, it is sensible for the local NHS to minimise the number of avoidable accident and emergency attendances.
