Study finds 25% of eligible mothers not enrolled in Healthy Start scheme

A recent study highlighted gaps in enrollment for the Government Healthy Start scheme. The research found that one in four eligible mothers remain unregistered. Findings were reported by Nursery World. The Healthy Start scheme provides nutritional support to low‑income families. Low registration rates may limit access to vital food vouchers. The study warns of potential health impacts on infants. Officials are urged to improve outreach and awareness. Monitoring enrollment trends will be crucial for policy effectiveness.
