Public Health report

Public Health report: The House of Commons Health Select Committee has published 'Twelfth Report - Public Health'. The report details changes to public health services within the Health and Social Care Bill. The Committee suggests that the new public health body for England must be, and be seen to be, a fearlessly independent champion of public health standards and objectives and warned of the need for more clarity about who will be in charge in a public health emergency, such as a flu pandemic.
