To ask the Secretary of State for Health what measures he will take to ensure a consistently high standard for the diagnosis of head injuries at hospital accident and emergency departments; and if he will make a statement. [53569]

In Executive Letter (93)115, the Department drew the attention of the National Health Service to published guidance on the management of head injuries. Copies of this Executive Letter are available in the Library.
