Son has continuous cough since early Nov. Can't get to sleep. Barely tolerated in classroom on few days he's there. GPs at wits end, referred to #paediatricrespiratory@OUHospitals. Appointment end July! #NHS that's way too long to wait for a young person missing school.

Great report from @ChildrensComm with much evidence from YP themselves. Clear recommendations on need for early ID, better data, access to advocacy, ICB focus on school attendance, more school nurses, mental health nurses, LD nurses, health visitors ... childrenscommissioner.gov.uk…
Been working hard on these data challenges for several years with @CDC_tweets@TrueColoursTrus@BlogSenco@KarenHorridge. Great to see @ChildrensComm highlighting importance of better data to improve services for disabled children, young people and their families.
