Is the health service guilty of discriminating against children?
Taking your child to hospital can be traumatic at the best of times, but what if they're faced with discrimination?
A recent survey of young people's experiences of the NHS found that only 40% felt that the hospital explained things in a way which they could fully understand, and only half felt that the facilities catered adequately for them as a child.
So is the NHS guilty of what's being called childism? Martha talks to Kedge Martin, Chief Executive of WellChild, and paediatrician Dr Lynn Riley.
