A new report by the Children’s Commissioner has revealed that thousands of disabled children are stuck in hospital far longer than they need to be. More than 1,000 children remained in hospital for over a year, with many unable to leave because of delays arranging care packages, a shortage of social care placements, and unsuitable or unsafe housing.
