Conduct a review on the placing of under 18s on adult NHS wards
16-18 year olds are considered adults in the NHS and are often treated on adult wards. At 16, you are still a child. We think that until you are legally allowed to vote etc you should still be under children's medical care. It's wrong to force children to have to be in an adult ward.
