i can concur with the previous comment here in the west mids all children up to the age of 2 yrs are routinely taken to A & E no matter what the ailment,sniffly nose,sore ear,etc UNLESS the parent/guardian has made it their intention to convey themselves or has refused hospital treatment for this child in which case it is noted fully and accurately on the PRF and signed accordingly, as has been said in posts previously you cant make anybody do anything with out their consent
