DESCRIPTION
The Forum, launched today by the Secretary of State for Health, will operate as an equivalent to the NHS Future Forum 'listening exercise' for children and young people. It has been tasked with creating a set of health service outcomes for child health and addressing longstanding system issues that prevent children from accessing universal and specialist healthcare. It will also ensure that children's health needs are central to government thinking during the final phase of development work on Health & Social Care Bill reforms.
