Dear Colleague

Unite/CPHVA and many experts are convinced that taking health visitors out of statute in 2001 has had a significant effect in reducing investment in the profession. If the

Health Visiting profession is to rebuild its workforce - in line with calls from Cabinet Minister Andy Burnham and Ed Balls, Lord Laming and others - Unite/CPHVA believe

a fundamental step must be to return the profession to statute.

Unite/CPHVA branches can help us safeguard the future of the health visiting profession - just reply to this email saying giving us your comments about why you support

our campaign to return health visiting to statute.

At the recent Unite/CPHVA conference in Southport there was unanimous support from delegates for returning health visiting as a profession to statute - because of that if

a branch has not replied with their comment by Friday 8th January 2009 we will assume your Unite/CPHVA branch supports this campaign.

This is a campaign we can win - Ministers have said they are open to further discussion on this issue. You can sign our statement by clicking here
