Northants County Council misspent £8m of public health money

Northants County Council misspent £8m of public health money  After months of talks a deal has been struck between the local authority and Public Health England (PHE) over the council’s misspending of its public health grant. The council received a £35m grant from PHE in 2017-18 and a similar sum in 2016-17. The grant was given to provide services with public health outcomes but instead several millions were incorrectly spent on adult social care and children’s services. Northamptonshire Telegraph
