Since 2006, there have been a number of notable public policy developments concerning children\u2019s healthcare in Ireland. Notwithstanding such developments, there is still neither a statutory basis nor a national policy framework dedicated to children\u2019s healthcare in Ireland.<\/p>\n

As this current research commissioned by my Office highlights, such a legislative and policy framework is merited as it could usefully guide the development and delivery of healthcare services for children into the future and inform a process to mainstream a culture of respect for children\u2019s rights in healthcare settings. Undertaken by Professor Ursula Kilkelly and Professor Eileen Savage of University College Cork, the main purpose of this research has been to identify how \u2018child-friendly healthcare\u2019 can be fostered in and across healthcare settings attended by children and young people under 18 years living in Ireland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":895,"template":"","class_list":["post-894","library","type-library","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","resource_type-research","resource_topic-health"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nChild Friendly Healthcare - Ombudsman for Children<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oco.ie\/ga\/library\/child-friendly-healthcare\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"ga_IE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Child Friendly Healthcare - Ombudsman for Children\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Since 2006, there have been a number of notable public policy developments concerning children\u2019s healthcare in Ireland.
