The Young Patients Family Fund is a Scottish Government scheme that reimburses the costs of travel, parking, accommodation, and daily food and drink for parents, primary carers, and siblings under 18 visiting a young inpatient under 18 in a Scottish hospital.
Claims must be made within three months of discharge and require a claim form signed by a hospital medical professional, which can be downloaded online or collected from the hospital and then submitted to the hospital’s cash office or the relevant NHS Board.
