Whether it will make corrective treatment for babies with deformational plagiocephaly available through the NHS.

The current treatment of babies with deformational plagiocephaly includes supervised “tummy time” and encouraging non-sleep patterns and activity, for example playing and being held. In nearly all cases of deformational plagiocephaly the child’s head returns to a normal shape without any treatment. If the condition worsens or shows no sign of improvement, then referral to a neurosurgeon would take place.
There is little evidence to support the use of helmets and the current consensus view of paediatric neurosurgeons in Scotland is that these should not be used.
