Anne Milton to face questions about health visitor recruitment drive

1 min read Early Years Health
Public health minister Anne Milton will be quizzed tomorrow on the government's pledge to recruit 4,200 more health visitors over the next four years.

Milton will be speaking at the annual conference of Unite/Community Practitioners’ and Health Visitors’ Association (CPHVA) in Harrogate, before taking questions from the floor.

Unite’s National Officer for Health, Karen Reay said: "We expect to hear from Anne Milton about how the coalition government is going to translate David Cameron's pre-election promise of 4,200 extra health visitors into actual health visitors working on the frontline, particularly as it is an ageing workforce.

"We have had a useful dialogue with the Department of Health (DH) on the health visitor crisis, and there has been an element of planning by the DH on this issue – but now is the time to put flesh on the bones."
