In 2014 we asked children and young people who had been in hospital about the care they were given.

On this page, you can find out what we were told.

Nearly 7,000 young people aged 8-15 took part in the survey. We asked these young patients for their views, and added some extra questions for their parents and carers. We also sent questionnaires to the parents and carers of children younger than 8 years old. We received responses from over 12,000 parents and carers of these younger children.

Who are we?

We are called the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

We visit places like hospitals, doctor’s surgeries and ambulances to make sure they are giving good care to their patients.

We also ask patients what they think about the services – if they think it is good or bad.
