The Children and Young People’s Health Policy Influencing Group (HPIG) has welcomed the Government’s Ten-Year Health Plan and its ambition to raise the healthiest generation of children ever.
Its latest briefing sets out how a robust implementation plan is needed to fundamentally reprioritise the way babies, children and young people are served by the health system.
It highlights nine key areas for action including tackling health inequalities, building a dedicated child health workforce strategy, strengthening prevention and early intervention, and embedding children’s mental health in neighbourhood health.
