Kent mum calls for more child's play in hospital
Campaigners and charities are calling for more play resources to be put into hospitals in Kent to try and reduce trauma and poor mental health of children.
The charity Starlight says there are only 76 registered health play specialists in the South East for around a quarter of a million child hospital admissions.
Their report also says that 3/4 of NHS trusts in the region don't have a designated play budget.
Anna Cookson spoke to Colette whose 5 year old daughter Florence has Cystic Fibrosis.
