Health & Social Care

Parents love health visitors as a uniquely valuable service. They trust their advice and turn to them easily when they are anxious or concerned about their new child. But Health Visitor numbers have been in freefall. Our 2009 progress report showed huge variations in the number of health visitors up and down the country - County Durham had one health visitor for every 165 children whereas some London health trusts had as few as one health visitor for 800 children.
