Last month, my department and the Department of Health announced the first-ever Child Health Strategy. As well as setting out plans for the biggest investment in services for disabled children, the joint strategy, 'Healthy Lives, Brighter Future: the Strategy for Children and Young People's Health', sets out for the first time what children, young people and their families can expect from child health services in their areas from birth through to the age of 19.
We already know that the people who work directly with children and their families, armed with the right skills and knowledge, can drive up the quality of services and transform the quality of a child's life and experience. We wanted to know how we could help you to improve health outcomes for children, which is why we spoke to many professionals from across the sector when developing the strategy. You told us that you want help to overcome any barriers to providing excellent, integrated health services for children and families, and our strategy aims to address this.
