Recommendation 10
10
Set out actions to hold poorly performing local authorities accountable for health visit delivery.
Recommendation
We are also highly concerned about the variation in performance amongst local authorities in delivering health visits. While it is clear that the system as a whole needs additional resourcing, it is unacceptable that some local authorities managed 100% uptake while others were as low as 4%. We call 55 on the Government to set out what action it will take to hold to account poorly performing local authorities and improve their delivery of health visits. (Recommendation, Paragraph 57)
