Typically, children with a cleft lip and/or palate need a mixture of care, from birth to adulthood, from professionals from different disciplines. This is why it is important to record information on these children from birth or diagnosis, to inform their care.
This database was set up by the Department of Health in 2000. The database is funded by the National Health Service through the Specialist Service Commissioners, who have responsibility for the delivery of care to children born with cleft lip and palate in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. An independent body, the Cleft Development Group (CDG), which includes patient representative groups, clinicians and
commissioners, has the overall responsibility for running the database.
