Recommendation 11

Not Addressed
Government's health visit ambitions are inadequate compared to other UK nations' provision.
Recommendation
The Government’s ambitions for the number of health visits are woefully inadequate. Children in England receive fewer mandated health visits than children in any other part of the UK. While the Government’s immediate priority must be supporting and growing the workforce to deliver the current programme of five visits, in the longer term the Government should aim to deliver a service comparable to the rest of the UK. (Conclusion, Paragraph 60)
