answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2018 answer text <p>Improving children’s mental and physical health is a top priority for this Government and will be pivotal in our long-term plan for the National Health Service, which we are backing with additional funding of an extra £20.5 billion a year by 2023/24. This follows the existing National Maternity Safety Ambition to halve the 2010 rates of neonatal deaths (as well as stillbirths, maternal deaths and brain injuries that occur during or soon after birth) by 2025, and to achieve a 20% reduction in these rates by 2020. Achieving this ambition would place the United Kingdom amongst other high-income countries with the lowest stillbirth and neonatal mortality rates.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock grouped question UIN 181565 question first answered 24/10/2018 12:26:36 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2018 answer text <p>Inequalities experienced in childhood can lead to continuing problems across the life course. We want children to have the best start in life. Health visitors, as leaders of the Healthy Child Programme for 0-5 year olds, provide evidence-based public health interventions at community, family and individual levels.</p><p> </p><p>Local commissioners are critical in providing quality services that address public health priorities associated with deprivation. These include services to tackle smoking in pregnancy, reduce childhood obesity, improve oral health and enhance early language skills.</p><p> </p><p>Public Health England is working closely with the Department for Education to help parents improve their children’s early language and literacy skills before they start school. This aims to close the `word gap’ between disadvantaged children and their peers. An £8.5 million programme has opened for local authorities to fund projects aimed at disadvantaged children.</p><p> </p><p>We are making an additional £1.4 billion available to transform children and young people’s mental health services from 2015/16 to 2019/20. This will mean that by 2020/21, 70,000 additional children and young people each year will be accessing National Health Service specialist mental health services. We are clear that there is still more to be done, hence why we have recently published a joint health and education Green Paper, one of the key proposals for which is to create new mental health support teams to deliver interventions for mild to moderate mental health needs for children and young people, in or close to schools and colleges.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 08/05/2018 16:22:13 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
