Complex Health Needs Survey run in October 2020
This survey was for the parent carers of children up to age 11 who have complex health needs looking at key working for families in the pre-school phase. It was completed by 39 parent carers which is a really good number for this type of need. The results of the survey are here Those results will also be used by the HPCI parent rep and others working on the project. It is good news that the recruitment process for a key worker for the pre-school families of a child with complex health needs has begun.
