Is it true that some areas that the 2 year child developement check had finished??

[biglips]

????????????????

yes - we don't have one here in Mendip PCT

yes, they didn't do one here on ds who is 2.75 yrs. HV said they'd stopped doing them.

Yes. They might send you a questionnaire to fill in instead though, depending on how your practice works.

You can always make an appointment to see the HV if you have any concerns.

we dont have it in Zummerzet

DD2, who is now 6 didn't get one.
We got a letter asking us to make an appt if we had concerns about anything.

ive not been told by my HV yet but been told on here (oct 04 thread)... will call them today and see whats wha

Why have they stopped it anyone know?

We get sent a questionare here.

In Oxford I was told I could make appt if I wanted but it was no longer routine.

Staff shortage where I am (Essex)

no check just a questionnaire

Same as Pruni. Make sure you get the Bookstart pack though (not sure this is all areas, but worth having if it's in your area).

Ds is 2.8, and we haven't had a check, or a questionnaire or a Bookstart pack, or any contact at all from the HV since his 9 month check. Not that I'm bothered as he's just fine as far as I'm concerned. Presumably the powers that be expect you to contact them if you have any concerns.

I am interested in the Bookstart pack though - are we talking free books? Now that would be worth chasing......Any more info appreciated.

DS2 got his Bookstart pack at nursery on Friday - he's 3.1. Haven't had a HC check though. DS1 had one at 3 IIRC
