Find general information about population health screening. More about Iron Deficiency AnaemiaAnaemia is a condition that occurs when there is a reduced number of red blood cells or concentration of haemoglobin. There are several different types of anaemia, and each one has a different cause. The most common form of the condition is iron deficiency anaemia. This is where the body lacks enough iron to keep the red blood cells functioning properly. In children, it is usually due to eating a diet that has too little iron in it. >>Read more about iron deficiency anaemia on NHS Choices Stakeholders • Faculty of Public Health The stakeholder groups will be involved when the recommendation is next reviewed.
