Young Patients Family Fund

Posted by: NNs - Posted on:

It has been announced by Scottish Government to NHS Boards that the Young Patients Family Fund will merge with the existing Neonatal Expenses Fund (NEF) to create a single unified fund. The fund will support parents, carers and/or siblings to cover the cost of travel, subsistence and (in some instances) accommodation associated with visiting a child inpatient between the ages of 0-18.

Work to support the delivery of the fund is still ongoing but our planning assumption is that it will launch during the final week of July 2021.

More details to follow.
