The Government is committed to achieving good outcomes and life chances for all children and young people. Health and care services play an integral part in achieving this.

We welcome work to increase awareness of the challenges disabled children, young people and their families face and to ensure that they receive the care and support they need. As the minister responsible for children’s disabilities, I would be happy to meet with the Partnership to discuss these matters.
