'The health of its children is the wealth of a nation.' For this reason a lot of time and energy is expended on preventive child health services, but with little evidence of effectiveness and great variation in programmes. Recently much has been done to rectify this. At the forefront of this work has been the multidisciplinary committee chaired by Professor Hall. Its third report, with its concentration on health promotion rather than 'defect detection', will form the basis for all future programmes.
“儿童的健康是国家的财富。”因此，在预防性儿童保健服务上投入了大量时间和精力，但成效甚微，而且各项目差异很大。最近已采取诸多措施来纠正这一状况。这项工作的前沿是由霍尔教授主持的多学科委员会。其第三份报告专注于健康促进而非“缺陷检测”，将成为所有未来项目的基础。
