To ask the Scottish Government what progress it has made in developing its 10-year Child and Adolescent Health and Wellbeing Action Plan, and when it will be published.

Good progress has been made on a health and wellbeing action plan. Extensive engagement has been undertaken with children, young people, parents and professionals to understand how best to support and improve child and adolescent health.

Building on this feedback, and research evidence about the broad determinants of health, the Scottish Government is currently undertaking work to finalise a shared cross-portfolio Vision and Action Plan. This will take a holistic approach to improving a broad range of outcomes for children, young people and their families, covering the wide-range of factors which influence health and wellbeing.

The cross-portfolio Vision and Action Plan will be published in early 2020.
