Recommendation 15
15
Not Addressed
Set plans to support non-NHS children's health professionals and review multidisciplinary team guidance.
Recommendation
Many professions which play a key role in delivering children’s health care are not entirely or primarily employed by the NHS. We recommend the Government sets out how it plans to support those professions in non- NHS settings, particularly allied health professionals and early years practitioners, in a child’s health workforce strategy that should accompany the NHS 10 Year Workforce Plan. We also recommend that the Government 56 review its current guidance on multidisciplinary teams to ensure that due prominence is given to the role that allied health professional can play in such teams.
