Allow the standardised plans to be used by Public Health Nurses under the governance of the National Healthy Childhood Programme. To support this, a national procedure has been developed to support the implementation of the standardised care plans to be used in Public Health Nursing Practice. It is envisaged that the use of the standardised care plans will enhance the quality of care and provision of evidence-based practice.
