CHILDREN in HOSPITAL
S$ it good or bad for children in hospital to have daily visits from their parents? What is the relative emotional effect on the child of daily and weekly visits and how is the sick child affected by separation from home and parents? Would it be difficult to introduce daily visiting in New Zealand hospitals? Controversy flared up on this question recently in Christchurch, where 3YA broadcast a discussion (later heard from other YA stations) and the Public Hospital abandoned daily visiting after about three months’ trial. This controversy spread a fortnight ago to "The Listener," where a correspondent pointed out that the British Ministry of Health had urged all hospital authorities to adopt daily visiting. Here are the views of people with whom "The Listener" has discussed the question.
