£3.2bn a year needed to reverse impact of government cuts to public health services The Health Foundation has calculated that an additional £3.2bn a year is required to reverse the impact of government cuts to the public health grant and ensure that it is re-allocated according to need.
The grant enables local authorities to deliver vital public health services, such as obesity programmes, drug and alcohol services and sexual health services, but a new briefing paper by the independent charity shows that it has seen a £700m real terms reduction in funding between 2014/15 and 2019/20 – a fall of almost a quarter (23.5%) per person.
