The Health Visitor Service Delivery metrics were developed by NHS England in order to provide assurance on service transformation in England. They cover the following indicators in 2014/15:

• Number of mothers who received a first face to face antenatal contact with a Health Visitor at 28 weeks or above;
• Percentage of New Birth Visits completed;
• Percentage of 12 month development reviews completed by the time the child turned 12 months;
• Percentage of 12 months development reviews completed by the time the child turned 15 months;
• Percentage of 2-2.5 year reviews completed; and
• Percentage of Sure Start Advisory Boards with a HV presence.

These metrics are used as management information and have been collected quarterly since Quarter 2 2013/14 at provider level. They are reported here by region and nationally.
