A path with young people on it. "The roadmap in brief: The health mission includes explicit metrics for improving child health. Children are a central pillar of the forthcoming Ten Year Plan. A more equitable share of funding is allocated in the three year spending Review, with a strategic approach to funding palliative care, long terms conditions and SEND. A Children and Young People's Board is established to advise the Secretary of State on Child Health. ICSs are made directly accountable for improving child health outcomes in line with the metrics of the Health Mission. The NHS number becomes the single unique identifier for children, alongside a programme to improve the quality and sufficiency of data. The NHS Long Term Workforce Plan is reviewed with a stronger focus on the child health workforce. A new elective recovery standard for children's health services (including community services) is mandated. The restoration of key preventative services, including health visiting and school nursing, is made a priority for the public health grant.
