<p>This is a matter for the local National Health Service. Each health organisation
should have information sharing protocols in place for when a child or young person
misses or does not attend a planned appointment. This information should be held as
part of the child’s record and communicated directly to the child’s registered general
practice and targeted health services, such as health visiting, school nursing or
child and adolescent mental health services.</p><p> </p><p>There are mechanisms available
within health services to flag such issues. This may depend on the individual case
and the significance of the appointment due to be attended, for example, a child not
attending for chemotherapy or dialysis may be deemed to be at significant risk.</p>
