10 Years of the NHS Grampian Family Nurse Partnership

Lodged by Kevin Stewart Standard Motion 22 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises that NHS Grampian’s Family Nurse Partnership has been operating for 10 years; understands that this voluntary service, which is aimed at young, first-time mothers, covers the first 1,001 days of life, from early pregnancy until the child’s second birthday, and is taken up by more than 80% of those offered the opportunity to take part; further understands that in its first 10 years, the team has worked with 979 local families, helping them to make the best choices for their child through a respectful therapeutic relationship, and has grown from a small team of seven to become 15 highly skilled colleagues, including specially trained midwives, health visitors and school nurses; believes that the service has made a huge difference to many families across Grampian, improving the life chances of hundreds of children, and wishes the team all the best for the next 10 years.
