Further fears for under-fire Northamptonshire County Council as millions of pounds worth of health spending is called into question Millions of pounds worth of funding handed to Northamptonshire County Council may not have been used for its intended purpose.
Public Health England, the national organisation designed to promote healthier lifestyles across the country, gave £70 million worth of funding to the council over a two-year period, according to reports by the BBC this morning.
The funds were supposed to be ring-fenced for healthy living programmes such as smoking cessation services, but council leader Councillor Heather Smith told the BBC that some of the funding may have been used to prop up adult social services. Northamptonshire Telegraph
