Importance of Children’s One-Year-Old Health Review

Importance of Children’s One-Year-Old Health Review
That this Assembly commends the vital role that health visitors play in supporting the health and development of children under the age of five; expresses alarm that 15 per cent of children in Northern Ireland were not seen by a health visitor for their year 1 review in 2023-24; notes with deep concern that this figure rose to 46 per cent in the Southern Health and Social Care Trust; highlights the critical need to end regional inequalities in the provision of child health reviews in order to ensure that every child and young person has the best start in life; and calls on the Minister of Health to urgently work with all Health and Social Care Trusts to drive down the number of health reviews that take place outside of the accepted timeframes or not at all.
