"We have to improve the way it is funded, otherwise children will continue to be turned away." @DingleyCEO

We welcome the focus on child health inequalities in the Welsh Government’s Child Poverty Strategy 2024. But the strategy comes up short as it lacks clear targets and a way to monitor the strategy’s delivery robustly and transparently. (1/2)
