Bwriedir iddi fod yn rhaglen iechyd gynhwysol i bob teulu sydd â phlant 0 - 7 oed. Bydd yn cynnwys amrywiaeth gyson o fesurau ataliol ac ymyrraeth gynnar sy’n seiliedig ar dystiolaeth (e.e. sgrinio, archwiliadau datblygu), a chyngor a chanllawiau i gefnogi rhianta a dewisiadau iach o ran ffordd o fyw. Mae’r rhaglen yn nodi beth y mae plant a theuluoedd yn gallu ei ddisgwyl o ran cysylltiadau wedi’u trefnu â’u byrddau iechyd wrth iddynt symud o’r gwasanaeth mamolaeth i flynyddoedd cynnar ysgol (0-7 oed). Mae’r cysylltiadau cynhwysol hyn yn cynnwys tri maes ymyrryd: sgrinio; imiwneiddio; a monitro a chefnogi datblygiad plentyn.
The HCWP is intended to be a universal health programme for all families with 0 – 7 year old children, to include a consistent range of evidence based preventative and early intervention measures (e.g. screening, developmental checks), and advice and guidance to support parenting and healthy lifestyle choices. At its core the HCWP sets out what planned contacts children and their families can expect from their health boards from maternity service handover to the first years of schooling (0-7 years). These universal contacts cover three areas of intervention: screening; immunisation; and monitoring and supporting child development.
