Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of take-up rates by levels of household income of recipients of the health check for children aged two years undertaken by health visitors.

Data on the take up rates of the health check of children aged two years undertaken by health visitors is only available at local authority level. Data on take-up rates by levels of household income of recipients of the health check for children aged two years undertaken by health visitors is not collected. Therefore, no direct comparison can be made between household income and uptake of service.
