Families kept apart: Parent accommodation on the neonatal unit in England

Bliss, the charity for babies born premature or sick, has launched a campaign to highlight just how important it is for parents with a baby receiving neonatal care that they are able to stay with them overnight. Despite the importance of parental accommodation being acknowledged by policymakers, for example in the Getting It Right First Time report and the NHS long-term plan, challenges persist.
