Health Visitors
(asked on 4th September 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of recent trends in the (a) size of health visitors' caseloads and (b) duration of each home visit undertaken by health visitors.
This question was answered on 12th September 2017
No national guidelines exist for size of health visitor caseloads and duration of home visits as these will vary considerably over time and location in order to meet local circumstances, complexity of intervention and the needs of each individual family. With this requirement for flexibility, it is, therefore, very difficult to identify trends and no national data is held to enable an assessment.
