Children need a national service framework.
THE NHS Plan is being enthusiastically implemented by commissioning authorities and targets to improve the health of the nation are set for such preventable killers as heart disease, accidents, cancer and mental illness. However, children are the one client group specifically excluded from all the National Service Frameworks (NSFs) and are consistently underrepresented at health policy and government level. Yet they are our nation's most precious resource ( Aynsley-Green et al 2000 ).
