Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many children are assessed using his Department’s Early Language Intervention Measure as a proportion of children undergoing the Healthy Child Programme 2 / 2½ year Review.

The information requested is not currently held centrally. The guidance supporting the Early Language Intervention Measure (ELIM) and Intervention recommends that local areas record the use of ELIM within a child’s electronic health record and this practice is being implemented locally.
