I dont know too much about infant heel-checks-at-birth. But, if Sumatra is correct, then thousands of heel checks are about to be destroyed annually.
A midwife friend of our family informed me that there are loads of information regarding health in these heel checks.
Store them in your attic at your peril. If heel checks are important (and I think they are), given the chance, I would store mine with my important documents passport, driving licence, last will and testament etc.
Just wondering:- Is there a charge from the HSE for such items? If so, how much?
