Policy guidelines of Hospitals, children

In response to the target set out by the NSH Plan to provide a foundation for healthcare at the beginning of life, the Secretary of State has announced the production of a new Children’s National Service Framework. It will be based on key NHS Plan values:

• modernisation,
• breaking down professional boundaries, and,
• partnership between agencies.

The Children’s National Service Framework will develop new national standards across the NHS and social services for children. It will help to improve health services for children in the UK, from GP surgeries and hospitals to Social Services support.  It will also help to improve the way parents and carers are informed and involved in their children’s healthcare.

The Children’s National Service Framework will build on the success of programmes such as Quality Protects and Sure Start (see Resources section), by providing services around the needs of children and young people.
