Main findings are as follows: The Royal College of Nursing has campaigned for &#x2018;a child&#x2019;s right to be cared for at home&#x2019; (UN, 1989) and for a 24/7 Community Children&#x2019;s Nursing Service across the UK. The RCN&#x2019;s recommendation for a average district with a child population of 50,000 a minimum of 20 WTE CCNs to provide a holistic community children&#x2019;s nursing service addition to any child specific continuing care investment&#x2019;. Under this formula, based on the present child population (0-19 years) of 700,000 plus (Statistics for Wales,2008), this would mean at least 280 CCNs across Wales. In short, there would have to be six fold increase in the present number of 40-45 (WTE) CCNs in Wales. In addition, each CCN team would have to consist of six WTEs to provide 24/7 service (Forys,2001). If the NHS in Wales is to achieve this it will require a substantial investment and rebalancing of children&#x2019;s nursing services between hospital and the community and not least a wholesale change in the working culture of paediatric service in Wales.To conclude, this report stressed that CCN provision across Wales remains patchyand inequitable.
