5-19 Public Health Service

Norfolk County Council (NCC) is embarking on an exciting opportunity to shape the future of our Healthy Child Programme. As part of this vision, we are recommissioning our 5-19 Public Health Service to build on strong foundations and pathways to deliver even better outcomes for children and families. The purpose of this market engagement is to provide an overview of the anticipated service and to assist the Council in shaping and scoping requirements for the most suitable delivery model (s) of the 5-19 Public Health Service. Your feedback will help us understand current and emerging practices and levels of interest, ensuring that future commissioning models are informed, focused, and responsive to needs.
