Conduct a review on the placing of under 18s on adult NHS wards

Petition Details

16-18 year olds are considered adults in the NHS and are often treated on adult wards. At 16, you are still a child. We think that until you are legally allowed to vote etc you should still be under children's medical care. It's wrong to force children to have to be in an adult ward.

Additional Information

Some families we feel lost tackling the world of adult care in the NHS once their children turn 16.

If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
