You know, for kids ...

DH has announced the setting up of an expert panel to develop a strategy to improve care for children and young people. The Children and Young People's Forum, to be modelled on the NHS Future Forum, will be jointly chaired by Professor Ian Lewis (Medical Director at Alder Hey NHS Foundation Trust) and Christian Lenehan (of the Council for Disabled Children). Data from the Generation R Study is examined to assess how far prenatal, perinatal and postnatal factors affect socioeconomic inequalities in childhood asthma. The UK Millennium Cohort Study is mined for evidence for the impact of home environment on inequalities in unintentional injury in early childhood. Researchers found that housing quality and safety equipment use did not explain socioeconomic inequalities in injuries.
