FOOTBALL SUBSTITUTIONS FOR BLOOD INJURIES (9 February 2006)
Motion Details
That this House supports the initiative by Doctor John Haworth, club doctor to Carlisle United FC, to persuade the Football Association to accept temporary substitutions of players to allow the treatment of open wounds, similar to the successful blood bin scheme introduced some years ago in the Rugby Football League; and urges the Football Association to accept this policy which is supported by the Professional Footballers' Association on the grounds of health and duty of care.
