The cross-sector group convened by the National Children's Bureau Policy Team released a Children's sector joint briefing to peers on 7th February with a proposed amendment to the Health and Social Care Bill.The amendment is aimed at Local HealthWatch organisations' functions to promote and support patient and public involvement. Evidence has shown that children's views are often not sought or are overlooked within the NHS so this briefing urges Parliamentarians to amend the Bill to make clear that HealthWatch England and Local HealthWatch must effectively involve children in their work.
