Public health funding

The government has launched a consultation on how the new public health service – Public Health England – will look and how the proposed funding arrangements will be implemented.

Asking those who have an interest in it to think differently about public health delivery, it seeks views on the following:

• What activities should be funded from the new ring-fenced public health budget and the appropriate allocations of responsibility for public health activity in the new system.
• Aspects of how services will be commissioned
• How money will be allocated to local authorities, including the design of the new health premium which will reward successes in improving outcomes and incentivise action to reduce health inequalities.
