This report outlines a proposed additional allocation of funding to the Healthy Child Programme for 0–19-year-olds currently held by Wirral Community Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children and young people in Wirral.

The proposed actions affect all Wards within the borough. This is not a key decision.

This decision is aligned to the Council strategic priorities, the Wirral Plan theme Brighter Futures, and the Health and Wellbeing Strategy priority To ensure the best start in life for all children and young people.
