Ask the Government to protect families in neonatal care from the cost-of-living crisis in England
The rising cost of living is hitting families hard in England. In a survey by Bliss, the charity for babies born premature or sick, parents told us they:
Parents need to pay for things like additional travel, food and drink and childcare costs - essentials to help them be physically present at hospital every day.
Parents tell us they run down savings, borrow money and increase their debt to be at their baby's side.
Not everyone has access to savings or credit and as a result some babies will not see their parents every day because they cannot affort to be there.
That’s why we’re calling on the Government to protect families in neonatal care from the cost-of-living crisis.
