Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make Healthy Start vouchers available to families with no recourse to public funds; and if he will make a statement.

The Department has established an interim scheme to access Healthy Start for British children under the age of four years old, whose parent or guardian meets the financial eligibility criteria and has no recourse to public funds as a consequence of their immigration status.
