Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that babies and young children are included in the 10-Year Health Plan.

The Government is committed to raising the healthiest generation of children ever.

The 10-Year Health Plan to reform the National Health Service will make it fit for the future. This includes policies that will impact on babies, and young children. The plan will draw directly from the extensive engagement we have undertaken with the public, patients, and staff, including organisations who represent babies and young children as well as children themselves.

We are in the final stages of developing the plan and will publish it shortly.
