§ Mr. RichardsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what measures are being taken in Wales to help reduce the number of injuries to young children; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Gwilym JonesAll health commissioning authorities in Wales are developing local strategies for health. In doing so they are taking into account the advice and targets included in the "Protocol for Investment in Health Gain: Injuries", published by the Welsh Health Planning Forum in June 1992. This offers guidance on how the national health service can reduce injuries to children, as measured by numbers attending accident and emergency departments, by 25 per cent. by the year 2002.
