The survey of PALS staff found that 75 per cent of respondents said that their service does not actively involve children and young people and 60 per cent reported not following any guidelines regarding the participation of young people.
In June 2007, NCB was granted funds to support PALS in making services more accessible to young people. The project will especially target those with health issues that require A&E or in-patient provision and those in transition from paediatric to adult services.
