The Government is committed to providing all babies with the best possible start to their lives. The Government recently published A Best Start for Life: A Vision for the 1,001 Critical Days. The Vision outlines actions for both national and local government to improve health outcomes for babies and children in England. The Healthy Child Programme continues to provide support for babies through local services as well as additional support where needed.
