Not immediately stopping play for a head injury should result in a 3 match suspension as a minimum for a referee, the assistants and the 4th official.
The risk of ignoring a possible concussion (or worse) is far too serious.

If a player is found to have faked being hit on the head (like the Brazilian geezer at the world cup a few year back) they should get a 5 game ban.
