These objectives and priorities are published on an annual basis. Officials are currently discussing the next HEE mandate.</p><p> </p><p>Within their three year training programme, about half of all General Practitioner (GP) trainees undertake a dedicated hospital placement in paediatrics. In addition, there are various initiatives around the country to increase access to child health training.
