We would still like to see more mothers breastfeeding and doing so for longer and are working with our partners including Public Health England (PHE), NHS England and UNICEF to achieve this goal.<\/p>
<\/p>
The promotion of breast feeding is one of the six high-impact areas for health visiting, with health visitors supporting parents around infant feeding. PHE is working with local services to create breastfeeding friendly communities, with midwives and health visitors promoting best practice, and through the Start4Life campaigns to provide parents with trusted NHS advice. This includes the Start4Life \u2018Breastfeeding Friend\u2019 (an interactive Facebook Messenger \u2018ChatBot\u2019), and the Start4Life website. The latter contains a range of leaflets and resources available which professionals can order for free and provides a dedicated breastfeeding helpline.<\/p>
<\/p>
PHE and UNICEF UK have developed a toolkit to support commissioning of evidence-based interventions to improve breastfeeding rates across England, including provision of effective professional support to mothers and their families through implementation of the Baby Friendly Initiative in every maternity unit. PHE is encouraging Local Maternity Systems across the country to include plans to increase the number of babies breastfed at six months within their transformation plans.<\/p>"}

The Government is committed to ensuring that homeless people can access health services. From April 2018 we will be implementing an ambitious legislative reform, the Homelessness Reduction Act, which received Royal Assent earlier this year. The Act will mean more people getting the help they need earlier, to prevent them from becoming homeless in the first place. The Department is currently considering how best to implement in the healthcare sector the \u2018duty to refer\u2019 to housing services that was introduced by this Act.<\/p>
<\/p>
The homeless healthcare charity, Pathway, has led and developed best practice for health services to help people who are homeless. The Government has supported this project through the Homeless Hospital Discharge Fund. This has supported 52 voluntary sector-led projects to improve discharge arrangements for homeless people, and was positively evaluated by Homeless Link, the national membership charity for organisations working directly with people who become homeless in England.<\/p>
<\/p>
Public Health England provides a resource, `Homes for Health\u2019, that provides a single point of access for policymakers, commissioners and others to wide-ranging authoritative information on data, evaluation, evidence and research relating to homelessness, including people with multiple complex needs. It contains good practice prompts for commissioning for homeless people with drug or alcohol problems.<\/p>
<\/p>
Homeless people are encouraged to sign up to a general practitioner (GP) service so they can get the treatment they need. Without an address, a GP can accept them by using the GP practice\u2019s own address or an address of a hostel, where appropriate. Training is also available for receptionists and guidance for GPs to help them deliver essential frontline care to the homeless, thus creating a more joined-up workforce.<\/p>"}
