NHS data shows that each year there are 4,300 visits to hospital by children who end up staying at least two months – often the same children return multiple times – and many parents will have little choice but to take unpaid leave.<\/p>\n
And when you’re in hospital, you end up buying ready meals, which cost more.’ \u2018I went from a high-salary job to suddenly having negligible income,’ says Alastair.

Generally, reports are individualised and usually very carefully thought out so as not to cause any issues and they are usually followed up by a parents evening, giving the family a chance to discuss any pertinent issues.’ Reports are always checked before they go out, so they do not lead to any misunderstanding.<\/p>\n
Rachel Kirby-Rider, chief executive of the charity Young Lives vs Cancer, says: \u2018When a child is diagnosed with cancer, often families are rushed to hospital with just the clothes on their backs to start treatment right away.<\/p>\n
