Bathtub Danger: Thousands Of Kids Injured Each Year In Slips And Falls
More than 43,000 children are injured in bathtubs and showers every year, mostly from slips and falls, according to the study, "Injuries Associated With Bathtubs and Showers Among Children in the United States." While bathtub injuries associated with tap water burns and submersions have generated much research, this is the first study using nationally representative data to look at injuries from slips and falls, which are responsible for the majority of bathtub injuries. Using data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission from 1990 to 2007, researchers evaluated an estimated 791,200 bathtub- and shower-related injuries during the 18-year study period among children 18 years old and younger who were treated in U.S. emergency departments.

Minister For Health & Children Publishes Report On Certain Accounting Issues Related To The Health Service Executive, Ireland

The Minister for Health & Children published the Report of the Working Group on certain accounting issues related to the Health Service Executive. The Working Group was chaired by Mr Tom Considine, former Secretary General of the Department of Finance, and included representatives from the Department of Health & Children, the Department of Finance and the HSE. The primary focus of the report is the interaction between Vote Accounting and Income & Expenditure (accrual) Accounting. It concludes, among other things, that: - the enactment of the Health Act 2004 does not change the roles of the Minister for Health & Children, the Government and the Oireachtas in relation to the public health service and public funds; - it is important to be able relate information from one set of accounts to another, particularly because the Public Accounts Committee and the Dç¡il operate primarily within a Vote Accounting structure; and - an Accounting Officer remains responsible to his/her Minister (in the case of a Secretary General) or board in the case of a CEO) for policy matters and does not have the power to apply res voted by the Dç¡il in a manner other than in accordance with the basis approved by his/her Minister. The Minister said "Over €15bn in tax-payers" money is made available annually to the HSE and financial management and control systems are, clearly, hugely important. There is regular reporting on financial issues by the HSE to my Department and through me to Government. Implementation of the recommendations in Mr Considine"s Report will enhance the HSE"s internal controls and improve the accuracy and timeliness of reporting to Government. I have asked the Board of the HSE to give priority to the Report"s recommendations. My Department will continue to assist in that regard." Department of Health & Children, Ireland
