Growing problems, one year on: the state of children’s health care and the Covid-19 backlog

Nuffield Trust -
A previous report showed that although the direct effects of Covid-19 on children and young people had generally been milder than for older groups, the impact of the pandemic was huge, with waiting lists for children and young people's care growing rapidly and mental health a serious concern. This report investigates whether there have been improvements in the state of health and care for children and young people. It finds that, rather than diminishing, the problems facing children and young people’s health care have worsened in many cases.
