So it’s NO, NO, and thrice NO to mixed sex wards.
It is also NO for bringing kids into adult wards. Not from my viewpoint but from theirs.

I think that whilst adult wards can be a scary place for a young child, witnessing sickness and death is inevitable in life and its better to experience it from a young age than be blind to it til you're an adult. Just from my own experiences.
