the idea is to have minor injury units (broken arms and stuff like

Wrong again, Minor Injury Units don't set broken bones, you need a proper
fracture clinic for that. They will look at someone that may have a
broken bone and decide if an x-ray is required to confirm or if it really
is broken, by feel/what the patient is saying and how the injury occured
etc. A Minor Injurys unit may have a x-ray machine but may not have a
24/7 radiographer...

Minor Injurys Units deal with bumps, cuts requiring stiches, removal of
small objects from eyes, sprains, etc and possibly more importantly
triage as above.


That depends on the minor injuries unit and what staff they have.
