Dear David: There is no such winds my way. However if you have any evidence
can you please find out as this is something that would need to be
discussed at BAEM> Please let me know were you have heard this from.
The report of Head injuries in one of the sections does mention taking
isolated severe head injury to appropiate facilities or having transfer
facilities on siet to do so. I am not aware of trauma.
What I do know is that some hospital are downgrading their own hospital not
to receive certain category of patients i.e. Crawley receives no
orthopaedic trauma we have designs a protocol for the ambulance service
that bypasses Crawley and takkes patients directly to Princess Royal or
Redhill. So far, almost one year in operation, there has been no problems,
Carlos
