Everything Leeds Children’s Hospital Appeal funds is over and above what is provided by the NHS. We want to make the wards, theatres, parent waiting rooms and day case areas child and family friendly. We would like to banish plain walls and provide suitable artwork to bring pleasure to patients and their families. Then of course there is the state of the equipment that every clinician would choose to work with if budgets allowed. Some of the equipment we fund helps to keep Leeds Children's Hospital as a centre of excellence.
