BBC Radio 5 Live - 5 Live Investigates, Children's Palliative Care

Adrian Goldberg hears of terminally ill children affected by inconsistent palliative care.

Adrian Goldberg hears from the families of terminally ill children and reveals a new report describing the commissioning of children's palliative care as 'patchy and inconsistent'.

Adrian Goldberg reveals a new report which describes the commissioning of palliative care for children with life-shortening conditions as 'patchy and inconsistent'. The report highlights the lack of specialist services at weekends and overnight when many parents need it most. We hear the moving stories of parents struggling to get the right support for the weeks, months or in many cases years that they are caring for their children - and the desperate financial situation they can be thrown into when their child dies.
