Fw: NCB Member Briefing - Health Policy white paper

[Guest guest]



FYI can you send comments to me please? The NCB Early Childhood Forum would like respond to the paper by exploring the role of health visitors within early years services. The more different ways we can make our voice heard the better.

I am going to put some thoughts together but would welcome other perspectives as well, I am now on holiday until August 2nd but still send me your responses as they would like a resposne when I return from holiday.

Best wishesMaggie
