Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what estimate he has made of the number of children who are withdrawn from being weighed on the Healthy Child Programme; and what assessment he has made of the effect of those withdrawals on the accuracy of statistics published on children's weight.
There is no national data collection of weight recorded as part of the Healthy Child Programme, hence there are no national statistics published or data of those children withdrawn.
