Children and young people’s survey
The majority of children and young people who stayed in hospital overnight or were seen as a day case patient were happy with the care they received, said that they felt involved in decisions about their treatment and that their privacy was respected. Many parents and carers were equally as positive with 71% of those surveyed saying their child was very well looked after overall. The results of the 2024 Children and Young People’s Patient Experience Survey reveal what over 25,800 children and young people under the age of 16 and their parents and carers said about the hospital care they received during March, April and May 2024.
