With the government drive to care for children/young people at home, the number of children accessing CDU for assessment and being discharged home is likely to continue to increase. In spite of this increase in numbers attending, there has been no expansion in the facilities.
Therefore the child health team has launched a fundraising campaign to raise £400,000 for these new facilities and equipment. Many fund raising events are being planned for the Spring and months ahead – these are likely to range from coffee mornings to cake sales to sporting events and sponsored parachute jumps.
