To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many (a) pregnant women, (b) women with a child under 12 months and (c) children from six months to four years old have received Healthy Start vitamins in each of the last 10 years.

Healthy Start vitamins are offered to pregnant women (at least 10 weeks into pregnancy) and families with a child under four years old are eligible for the Healthy Start scheme, if they are claiming any of the following benefits:

- Income Support;

- Income-based Job Seekers Allowance;

- Child Tax Credit (with an annual family income of £16,190 or less); and

- Universal Credit (with family take-home pay of less than £408/month).

Anyone under 18 and pregnant is also eligible for Healthy Start, regardless of whether they receive any of the above benefits.
