Children’s organisations call for urgent updates to the Health and Care bill to focus adequately on children

14th May 2021

As part of the Children and Young People’s Health Policy Influencing Group, the Institute of Health Visiting joins organisations calling on the Secretary of Health to put #ChildrenAtTheHeart of the upcoming Health and Care Bill.

Alison Morton, Executive Director, iHV, commented:

“iHV joins together with partners as a signatory to this letter. The Integrated Care Systems plans have so much potential for good – let’s make sure they set off with children at the heart. At the moment services and policies for children are fragmented from the top of Government to the frontline.”
