Labour's raft of measures to help youngsters
THOUSANDS of young people leaving care will receive free prescriptions, dental and eye care until they turn 25.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting said the measures will help those who have the toughest start in life.
Under reforms unveiled today, GPs will be alerted to children in foster care or a home to ensure no young person falls through the cracks.
A three-year pilot scheme will aim to boost access to mental health support. And ministers will trial NHS paid internship and guaranteed interview schemes for care-leavers.
