title: Improving services for cleft lip and palate. A work in progress.
abstract: Cleft lip and palate remains an orphan condition, falling between a variety of clinical disciplines, and often forgotten by public health consultants and health commissioners. Much remains to be done, and in the absence of leadership from clinicians or commissioners, progress may have to await the emergence of a stronger voice from organizations representing affected families.
