Luciana Berger – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Luciana Berger on 2014-07-16.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what his assessment is of the trial publication online of the Red Book for expectant mothers.

Dr Daniel Poulter

The Personal Child Health Record, commonly known as the Red Book, is not a Departmental publication but has been part of children’s services in the National Health Service for the last 20 years. Its content and format are overseen by a multi-disciplinary group hosted by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH). The RCPCH is working in partnership with Sitekit Ltd, the developers of the online Red Book, and will undertake an assessment of the product on its completion.
