Ms Russell noted that boys die twice as often as girls, deprived communities face higher risks than affluent ones, and black children are three times more likely to drown than white children. Interventions solely focused on deprived areas concern me because there are considerable numbers of deprived children in England who do not live in deprived areas. I want to see deprived children across the whole country receive the assistance that they need—they should not be dying.
