We’ve been working with @AtlasWomenatlas @UlsterLawClinic @C_Fitz_ @Alexandra3C @ARK_info on trying to raise awareness of the NHS Healthy Start Scheme. NI has the lowest awareness levels at just over 50% so many are missing out on this important help. Read @ARK_info briefing ⬇️
At the Public Account Ctte, Senior Civil Servant Emer Morelli articulated that it's important to ensure that children are given the best start, even before they are born. I suggest that one key intervention that @CommunitiesNI & @healthdpt could collaborate on is #HealthyStart.
