Luciana Berger
Shadow Minister (Public Health)
To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether his Department has an infant feeding coordinator.
Daniel Poulter
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health
The Department does not employ an infant feeding co-ordinator, but works collaboratively with the National Infant Feeding Steering Group, which brings together key partners including Public Health England, NHS England and UNICEF UK.
In December 2013, the Department provided £80,000 to UNICEF for two projects to maintain and develop the National Infant Feeding Network and to promote care and compassion through infant feeding as part of universal midwifery and health visiting services, including those services delivered in neonatal units and children's centres.
