The new Zone 5-19 Doncaster Children and Young People’s Health and Wellbeing Service is run by Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH) and was formally launched on November 2.
Kate Watkins, RDaSH Service Manager for the Zone 5-19 Doncaster Children and Young People’s Health and Wellbeing Service, said: “This service is designed to meet the changing health and wellbeing needs of children and young people as they grow into young adults.
