Manitoba is falling behind when it comes to the needs of its youngest residents according to the province's advocate for children and youth.

In her annual report today, Ainsley Krone said that only four of the 51 recommendations made from 2018 to 2020 have actually been implemented.

Krone has been asking the province to address and prioritize, preventable infant deaths, as well as child and youth mental health issues.

Krone said in her report that "the children and youth must become a higher priority in our province."
