	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
