No - the only implication is that the UK wouldn't use so many (costly) resources for something as minor as a few stitches on a 3 year old.

But as a parent, it is YOUR 3 year old so you want the absolute best for them. The end result, I believe, would have been exactly the same had it happened here or in the US. Just I had a lot more confidence (at the time) seeing just how much was being done to ensure there was no scarring.
