answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/04/2022 answer text <p>While there is no specific national screening programme or requirement for routinely checking for tongue-tie in newborn babies, where there are difficulties with breast feeding, it is a factor to be considered by health professionals. The Healthy Child Programme will be updated later this year to include guidance on supporting families to connect with services to manage the condition.</p><p>We have also recently announced £50 million to improve breastfeeding support. Local authorities will have flexibility in deciding how this funding is used to support families. This may include investing in staff training to discuss additional needs, such as tongue-tie or challenges with lactation and ensuring timely support and treatment is available and accessible.</p> answering member printed Lord Kamall question first answered 20/04/2022 11:32:19 answering member 4909 label Biography information for Lord Kamall
