The Children and Young People’s Survey received feedback about the experiences of 25,821 children aged between 0 and 15, who were admitted to hospital during March, April and May 2024. This includes responses from 12,917 children and young people aged 8 to 15, who had the opportunity to directly give feedback about their care.
Most children, young people and their parents and carers reported positive experiences about care overall. This included being involved in decisions about care and treatment, staff providing information that parents and carers can understand, and staff giving children and young people enough privacy. Results were less positive in some areas, including parents and carers’ concerns being taken seriously, children and young people’s existing needs being taken into account and getting help while waiting in hospital.
