answer text <p>In 2023/24, local authorities in England received £3.53 billion from the Government to fund public health services. This includes health visits and school nurse services for delivery of the Healthy Child Programme, through the Public Health Grant. As a part of the programme, health visitors undertake holistic assessments in partnership with families, which includes assessment of maternal mental health and infant mental health needs. These assessments cover the parents’ capacity to meet their infant’s needs, the impact and influence of wider family and community, and environmental circumstances. Working with families, health visitors identify the most appropriate level of support and intervention. This includes resources for health visitors to use in supporting families with mental health challenges experienced by both children and parents. The NHS Long Term Workforce Plan aims for an increase in health visitor training places by 17% by 2028 and by 73% by 2031. The programmes schedule of interventions is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.e-lfh.org.uk/pathways-healthy-child/" target="_blank">https://www.e-lfh.org.uk/pathways-healthy-child/</a></p>

answer text <p>It is the responsibility of local authority commissioners, working with their service provider, to determine health visitor numbers based upon local needs. The NHS Long Term Workforce Plan sets out the steps the NHS and its partners need to take to deliver a workforce that meets the changing needs of the population over the next 15 years. As part of this ambition, we aim to expand health visiting training places by 74% to over 1,300 by 2031/32. To support working towards this expansion, training places for health visitors will grow by 17% by 2028/29.</p> more like this
