Question:
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the percentage of One-Year Health Reviews completed during 2023-24 were conducted (i) face to face; and (ii) over the phone, broken down by Health and Social Care Trust.

Answer:

Healthy Child, Healthy Future (HCHF) is a framework for the universal Child Health Promotion Programme within Northern Ireland. It states that the appropriate venue for the one-year review is the child’s home. However, the review may take place at another venue (e.g. a health clinic), in certain circumstances, if it is not possible to carry out the review in the home.

In 2023-24, visits were completed as follows:

HSC Trust	In person	By telephone
Belfast	100 %	0 %
Northern	99.82 %	0.18 %
Southern	100 %	0 %
South Eastern	100 %	0 %
Western	100 %	0 %
