Notes

1. The health visitor first visit and the 6-8 week review were implemented before 2002 in many areas, but this is the first year that there is reliable denominator data for national reporting purposes.

2. Certain areas within some NHS Boards may have started offering reviews earlier than the dates stated in the table.

3. NHS Fife partially implemented the 4-5 year review from April 2017, but only for children with additional HPI (Health plan Indicator), indicating that the child/family require some form of additional support. They aim to fully implement the pathway in due course.
