The Children and Young People's Health Outcomes Forum report, published in July 2012, set out a call to action for all of us about not losing sight of children's health during the implementation of reforms to the NHS and thereafter.
Earlier this year, 24 partner organisations signed a pledge - Better health outcomes for children and young people - to put children at the heart of the new system. Last week, many of those partners launched the National Children's Health and Wellbeing Partnership (CHWP) to take that commitment one step further.
The partnership is co-chaired by Jon Rouse, director general for social care at the Department for Health, and Mark Rogers, chief executive at Solihull Council, and chair of the Society of Local Authority Chief Executives' children's and education network. It will provide national leadership to address those issues that we know can only be tackled by working together, building on the leadership provided by local health and wellbeing boards.
