Specialist Provision Packages (Packages) will set out the provision required to support children and young people with complex needs and will underpin the education entitlements in education, health and care (EHC) plans. Health services are responsible for delivering and funding the health elements specified in an EHC plan.

Through our reforms, we will improve access to multi-agency support in EHC plans, across education, health and care.
