The UK National Screening Committee (UKNSC) launched the national standards for the newborn infant examination in 2008. This was part of a wider announcement on the Child Health Promotion Programme (CHPP). The document The Child Health Promotion Programme, Pregnancy and the First Five Years of Life (DH 2008) is an update of standard one of the National Service Framework for Children, Young People and Maternity Services and sets the context for neonatal examinations. The CHPP was updated and replaced by the Healthy Child Programme (HCP) (DH 2009).

In April 2013, the UK National Screening Programmes became part of Public Health England (PHE). Public Health England is the expert national public health agency working on behalf of the Secretary of State to protect health and health inequalities and promote the health and well‐being of the nation.
