They actually listened and the staffing boost is finally happening for the DPOW team. My eyes are honestly a bit misty thinking about how 219 people put their name on this when it felt like nobody cared. Let's just keep watching them to make sure they stick to the plan …

I am a parent of a type 1 Diabetic child. Juvenile Diabetes has more than doubled since the advent of the Covid Pandemic.

Our team at Diana Princess of Wales hospital Grimsby are fantastic but dangerously under staffed. They are unable to assist the many parents within our area with their needs for their children. I fear that should immediate assistance with staffing and funding not present it self that we may lose the department altogether. I ask you for your assistance in generating enough momentum to be heard by signing this petition.

Many thanks in advance.

I honestly never thought this would reach so many people but here we are and the sheer volume of support for the DPOW team is just incredible to watch unfold. It makes me feel like maybe someone in charge will finally stop and listen because it really feels like the momentum is shifting in our favor even if it feels a bit overwhelming at times.

My 2 granddaughters have both been treated by the department. It is vital to have this service in the heart of the local community. Our children are our future they must have access to a well staffed paediatric department near there home. There is a mountain of research to show people including children thrive better when close to their families

Agree completely the lack of training in diabetic care in our area is awful! It shouldn’t be a postcode lottery for basic needs and care
