Domestic accidents to children

25 810 domestic accidents to children were recorded by 20 hospitals in the first year's operation of the Home Accident Surveillance System. This figure is analysed in considerable detail in a report published by the Department of Prices and Consumer Protection. The 0 to 14 years age-range provides 42.6% of the home accidents to all age groups recorded by the 20 hospitals taking part in the system. Of these, 14 686 were to children under 5 years of age.
