Recommendation 23
23
Produce plans for disaggregated children's outcome data and introduce separate waiting time reports for under-twos.
Recommendation
We recommend that the Government work with all NHS and early-years settings to produce plans for greater disaggregated data concerning service delivery and outcomes for children. This should include data broken down by age group, as well as ethnicity, disability, socioeconomic status, access to services, and other categories that will allow for more targeted interventions and specified outcome planning. As a minimum, we call for the Government to introduce separate reports on waiting times for children under the age of two, as a first step to minimising delay in accessing services at this critical stage in a child’s development. (Recommendation, Paragraph 117)
