This includes specific reference to supporting the transition to adult services. Children and young people are supported through the individual options discussed with their health professional on the transition process. The delivery of the clinical care is supported through the data recorded by the Children’s HIV and Aids Reporting System (CHARS) database. All children and young people living with HIV in England seen for paediatric HIV care are monitored by CHARS until the transition to adult services. This enables the clinical teams to record treatment and prescribing information and supports the continuity of care.</p> answering member constituency Sleaford and North Hykeham answering member printed Dr Caroline Johnson question first answered 26/09/2022 10:59:51 answering member 4592 label Biography information for Dr Caroline Johnson previous answer version 20307 answering member constituency Sleaford and North Hykeham answering member printed Dr Caroline Johnson answering member 4592 label Biography information for Dr Caroline Johnson
