answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/09/2018 answer text <p>Health visitors undertake five mandated visits between the ages of zero to five. Three of these mandated visits occur during the first three months after birth which are the antenatal health visit, new baby review and six to eight-week assessment. The length of each visit will be entirely dependent on the individual needs of the mother and baby. Some families will require additional visits and support, the health visitor will use their professional judgement and public health expertise to determine need and support. Local authorities are responsible for commissioning health visiting services, local monitoring of service delivery and commissioning compliance should be undertaken locally as part of contract management.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 17/09/2018 13:56:16 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
