1This information is not collected by local authorities as it is not required by Public Health England (PHE). PHE state that “This is unable to be collected as a percentage due to the difficulties in defining an adequate denominator.” 

Please refer to page 8 of Public Health England – Health Visitor Service Delivery Metrics – Summary of 2017/18 Annual Data

2Devon County Council does not have the data for the whole of 2018/19 yet as it is not due from the outgoing contract provider until later in May.  Figures given for 2018/19 are therefore for Quarters 1, 2 and 3 only (ie 1 April 2018 to 31 December 2018).

1b) Please use the grid below to record the number of Healthy Child Programme contacts that were delivered in each of the following formats in 2017/18 and 2018/19.
