Huge thank you to @tyhafan for their support and especially to their Youth Board Chair, Tal Skone whose powerful words reminded us all why putting children first must be at the heart of policy development in Wales.

#PuttingChildrenFirst

[RCPCH Wales @RCPCHWales]

We're at @SeneddWales today to talk with policymakers about prioritising children's health.

In our manifesto we’re calling for urgent action to improve outcomes for babies, children and young people.

3/3 Working together, we've showcased the amazing professions supporting child health in Wales.

Now it's time to invest and empower the workforce and support them to deliver for current and future generations.

Diolch @RhunapIorwerth for mentioning RCPCH in today's FMQs.

Child health inequalities are not inevitable. Yet, we see the harsh impact of child poverty and inequalities every day.

@shel_e_moseley Congratulations Michelle. Amazing news!!🍾

[Sarah Williamson @Williamson_SE]

Proud to be supporting this work calling on the Welsh Government to address poverty and inequalities in Wales.

Health inequalities are not an inevitability. Children deserve to know their health is important.

#EverythingAffectsHealth

[RCPCH Wales @RCPCHWales]

We led 47 organisations in writing to the Welsh Gov to demand they work to reduce the impact of poverty and inequalities

Wales has one of the highest poverty rates in the UK, with 29% of children living in poverty. This is driving inequalities.

RCPCH members in Wales there's still time to complete our survey✍

Make your voice heard and tell us your priorities for child health.

Diolch @cefincampbell for mentioning us in yesterday's Senedd debate

Lengthy waits are unacceptable for any patient but for a child it can be catastrophic. The impact may endure for years or become irreversible

@McCullough_Mat Llongyfarchiadau!!🥂

[Sam Rowlands MS @SamRowlands_]

❤️‍🩹 Children's health in Wales is undoubtedly getting worse, according to @RCPCHWales.

🦷 We are seeing an increase in things like tooth decay and school absences.

👦 Children's health must be prioritised and embedded across Government portfolio areas.

[RCPCH Wales @RCPCHWales]

Diolch @SamRowlands_ for asking the First Minister how the Welsh Government will improve child health.

We see the impact of inequalities and poor child health every day. Without investment, this will impact the health of future generations and cost more to address in the future.

[RCPCH Wales @RCPCHWales]

Thanks @tyhafan for having us today!

Great discussions about #ReachEveryChild and inequalities in end of life funding. When a child’s life will be short, no family should have to live it on their own.

Looking forward to working together to address child health inequalities.

Last polling day in Cardiff after 9 years! Making it count. Don’t forget your ID🗳️

And of course it wouldn’t be an election without #DogsAtPollingStations

[Sioned Williams AS/MS @Sioned_W]

Pleased to have sponsored @RCPCHWales to come to the Senedd to give an update on their #WorriedAndWaiting report four months on.

Children’s healthcare is frequently time critical and their report gives crucial recommendations for important improvements.

[RCPCH Wales @RCPCHWales]

We’re at @SeneddWales today talking to Members of the Senedd about child health and giving an update on #WorriedAndWaiting 4 months on from our launch.

No one wants to wait for treatment, but children’s care is frequently time critical.

We welcome this new collaborative and its focus on key issues, including mental health, poverty, and early years provision, and look forward to working with them to challenge the Welsh Government and others on the significant challenges facing children's health. @RCPCHWales

[Huw Owen 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @HuwLOwen]

A really important group launching today - ensuring that children's health is high on the agenda, and worked on in a collaborative way is huge.

I'm really looking forward to working with the RCPCH and member organisations to improve quality of life.
