answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2014 answer text <p>From 1 October 2015, the Government intends that local authorities take over responsibility from NHS England, for commissioning public health services for children aged 0-5, including health visiting services.</p><p>The Department is working collaboratively with its partners locally and nationally on the transfer of commissioning responsibilities. At local level, NHS England’s area teams, as the local commissioners (not clinical commissioning groups), and local authorities are working to develop plans, including timescales, for a smooth and effective transfer of the commissioning role.</p><p>The Government will mandate the delivery of the key child assessment elements of the Health Child Programme which are led by health visitors, healthcare professionals and their teams. This will allow for the service to be shaped locally, whilst ensuring there is universal coverage of the assessments in the context of a national, standard format (or specification) for the services, and hence that families can be confident they will receive health visiting support.</p><p>The Department and its partners use a range of measures that support this transition and convey associated timescales and guidance. In particular, the service specification, “Public Health Functions to be exercised by NHS England”, published in November 2013, sets out expectations for the commissioning and provision of services and how area teams can work with local authorities ahead of the transfer of commissioning responsibilities in 2015.</p><p>Other mechanisms such as the forthcoming programme of regional 0 to 5 years commissioning transfer events, organised in conjunction with the Local Government Association, provide the means for local staff and key stakeholders to further develop their understanding of working together in respect of future arrangements for the provision of health visitor services.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Suffolk and North Ipswich answering member printed Dr Daniel Poulter question first answered 04/09/2014 13:43:23 answering member 3932 label Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter
