Is there a law against being left alone in the hospital as a minor?

Not in the UK. (Assuming, from the question, that the child is an inpatient in the hospital, as opposed to a visitor who has been left there by a parent.) Adequate nursing supervision effectively counts as childcare, when your child is concious ( as opposed to asleep or being operated on).The only issue is that a child under 14 is unable to consent for any medical procedures (including cannulation, I think), which means that it is usually useful for a parent or guardian to be present, if medical treatment is going to be necessary. (14 it is usually assumed that a child is old enough to consent, however at 16 is becomes unequivocal. Moreover, at 14 is is more difficult to object to medical treatment, than it is to consent to it.)
