Ombudsman calls for protocol to protect babies

The Om­buds­man yes­ter­day called for a spe­cific pro­to­col to pro­tect new­born ba­bies from pos­si­ble mis­treat­ment, after the case of a two-month old child al­legedly mis­treated by its fa­ther, which is cur­rently in the Vall d’He­bron hos­pi­tal. The Om­buds­man be­lieves there was a lack of co­or­di­na­tion and com­mu­ni­ca­tion be­tween the ser­vices that should have de­tected the mis­treat­ment of the baby. The Om­buds­man sug­gested that “the sus­pi­cions” of the health ser­vice did not reach so­cial ser­vices with “suf­fi­cient ef­fi­ciency.”
