Recommendation, verbatim from the inquiry
●Inquiry recommendation
Any child admitted to hospital about whom there are concerns about deliberate harm must receive a full and fully-documented physical examination within 24 hours of their admission, except when doing so would, in the opinion of the examining doctor, compromise the child’s care or the child’s physical and emotional well-being.
