Alongside the national response to treat patients with COVID & administer the vaccine, we must not lose sight of the needs of babies, young children and families who also need support now. https://t.co/hp3dxBQwzd

No one would argue with putting in place local action to reduce the transmission of coronavirus.
But announcing measures affecting potentially millions of people late at night on Twitter is a new low for the government’s communications during this crisis.
Not watched No.10 briefing but understand from Twitter lots of talk about safeguarding. If @Conservatives really cared about safeguarding they would not have cut the number of health visitors in the NHS by 33.6% in under 5yrs.
I have been a nurse for 32 years. First role was as a Stn, RUH Bath. Current role is SCPHN (HV). I am proud to be a nurse because we have the privilege of caring for people at their most vulnerable, stressful, sad but also most beautiful times. #proudtobeanurse@weareLSCFT
So excited to have been at the celebration for the UNICEF #BFIGoldAccreditation in Blackburn earlier today. It's been achieved through a partnership between the Trust & BwDBC, a great collaboration which will help support babies & families for years to come. Well done everyone.💜
“Bringing back bursaries will cost £1billion a year and Mr Ashworth will work to increase the numbers specialising in mental health and disability as well as health visitors and community district nurses.” @JonAshworth 👏 👏 👏
Big month in NHS health visitor stats (for all wrong reasons). Not only have we seen 3,188 (31%) cut from NHS, since transfer of commissioning to LAs in 2015, now have less than at any point in 9yrs of @Conservatives. They've totally wiped out increase from HV Implementation Plan
