I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Sheila Shribman on Wednesday at Whitehall - thank you for your valuable time. She is the National Clinical Director for Children, Young People and Maternity Services. We discussed the new Child Health Promotion Programme which is hot off the press!

I am particularly impressed and pleased that one of the core elements of this concerns 'a holistic and systematic process to assess the individual child's and family's needs'. Of course part of this includes maternal mental health. I am continually made aware of the huge affects that poor maternal mental health can have on the child so am delighted that real efforts are being made to help.
I shall continue to do my 'bit' to ensure this happens. It is a well presented document and worth a read. Let's work together to put it into action!
