The Health and Social Care Act 2012 set out a Local Authority's statutory responsibility for commissioning public health services for children and young people aged 0 to 19 years, this includes the requirement for Local Authority's to commission 0 to 5 years Health Visitor Services.

All potential providers who do not meet this requirement will immediately FAIL the MSP process assessment and will be excluded from any further assessment.
