ContactPoint replacement could be tried in hospitals
Hospital accident and emergency departments may pilot the national signposting system that will replace ContactPoint, according to children’s minister Tim Loughton.
The minister disclosed the plan in a letter to Professor Eileen Munro, who is undertaking a national review of children’s services,
Loughton said the scale of need for the new database could be assessed through small-scale pilots in busy A&Es as well local authorities.
