Young people leaving care in England will receive free prescriptions, and dental and eye services up to their 25th birthday, the government has said.
A pilot to trial paid internships for care leavers in the NHS and a guaranteed interview scheme for NHS roles also forms part of a package of measures announced by the Department of Health and Social Care.
A separate three-year pilot aims to improve access to mental health support for children in care, the DHSC said.
