Petition Increase funding for Metal detectors to locate ingested Coins in the NHS

Till recently the way to check for ingest coins was X-Ray, not only do these introduce a further degree of human error. They also expose people to Harmful Ionising Radiation. Metal Detectors use non Ionising Radiation (no harmful effects) & are reported to be 99.8 percent accurate in detection!
