Cut-off age for referral to Starship Children's Health

The standard age at which a child is switched from Starship to adult service is their 15th birthday. However, in some cases where the child has had a long relationship with the SSH team, they may be cared for at Starship for a longer time - this decision is made on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the team. Any referrals for patients over 15 should be directed to adult services.
