- Rate of emergency admissions for lower respiratory tract infections in children aged 2, 3 and 4 years.
The purpose of the indicator is to help monitor National Health Service (NHS) success in treatment outside hospital of types of childhood respiratory tract infections that have limited morbidity or need for hospital-based care and low mortality, through e.g. encouraging breast feeding, better diet, hygiene, and management of infections; better support for young parents in the care of their children and in the management of illnesses in the home; providing support as well as facilitating access to health advice and therapy through NHS Direct; and enhanced primary care.
