Better than cure: injury prevention policy

Better than cure: injury prevention policy In the United Kingdom, injuries are the leading cause of preventable death in children and young people, and of preventable years of life lost up to age 65. Although the UK has been a world leader in injury prevention policy, austerity and a lack of strategy have hampered further improvement. In a post-pandemic society, this report says the government should act on the renewed focus on public health to address the disconnect between the importance of injury prevention and its neglect in terms of funding, enforcement and strategy, to make the safety of the people the highest law.
