At the beginning

The Family Nurse Partnership gets another ringing endorsement in a report from DH. Providing "intensive support" for young parents, the scheme has been described as showing "good potential." This is the third evaluation report for the FNP and it follows the first cohort of clients, looking at how the programme supports families where the children are between 12 and 24 months. Andrew Lansley announced in October that the FNP would be doubled in capacity by 2015.
