New recommendations on public health funding published

New recommendations on public health funding published:
For the first time, from 2013, public health funding will be ring fenced and protected with local authorities taking the lead for improving health. This will help to drive up local efforts to maintain and improve the public’s health and wellbeing.
The Department of Health has committed to ensure that no local authority will lose out under the new grants for 2013/14. So local areas will either receive equivalent funding or be better off under the new funding arrangements. NHS Networks
