Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, whether neonatal units are classified as children's in-patient services for the purposes of Patient-Led Assessments of the Care Environment.
Patient-Led Assessments of the Care Environment are annual ‘snapshot’ assessments of a range of non-clinical services in National Health Service and independent sector organisations. Decisions as to whether neonatal units are classified as children’s in-patient services for the purposes of this assessment are made locally.
