Young Persons Family Fund: terms and conditions

The Young Patients Family Fund will help to offset the cost of travelling to and from hospital during a young inpatient's (up to age 18) stay in hospital and the subsistence required to allow claimants to spend time to support the health and wellbeing of the child or young person.


3. Introduction

The Young Patients Family Fund (an extension to the previous Neonatal Expenses Fund (NEF)) is designed to support parents/parent substitutes and any accompanying siblings under the age of 18 with the costs associated with visiting a young inpatient aged under 18 in hospital.
