Our vision for public health
A powerful case for change
The white paper Healthy Lives, Healthy People set out a powerful case for reforming the public health system:
• two out of three adults are overweight or obese
• smoking costs the NHS £2.7 billion per year
• rates of tuberculosis are rising
• inequalities in health remain: people in the poorest areas live on average 7 years fewer than those in the richest
• Major health threats, ranging from the risk of new pandemics to the potential impact of terrorist incidents.
We need a new approach to meet these and other public health challenges of the twenty-first century.
Leadership role for local authorities – so services are shaped by local needs
Stronger focus health outcomes supported by the public health Outcomes Framework
Public health as a clear priority across government

The new approach to public health
An effective public health system…
• Accounts for the changing nature, assets and strengths of the population – is vigilant for new health threats
• Ensures economic development creates health and wellbeing
• Advocates wise use of environmental resources • Promotes individual and community wellbeing• Helps people limit behaviours damaging to their health.• Secures equitable access to good quality health and social
care, with prevention incorporated into all contacts.• Systematically works to reduce health inequalities and
embeds health and wellbeing in all policies.
the new locally-led public health system
• Drive knowledge and analysis of population assets and needs.
• Consider whole population outcomes and set goals.• Inform all health and social care commissioning using
preventive approach.• Incorporate health and wellbeing across all local
authority work – and across the locality.• Use evidence and return on investment to inform
decisions.• Tackle health inequalities systematically focussed on
People, Place and Power.
Leadership role for local authorities – so services are shaped by local needs
New delivery system requiring wide range of partners– Government: DH lead but significant contributions
from DCLG, Justice, Home Office, DWP, DfE– PHE: Delivering health protection and supporting LAs
and the NHS– Local authorities: New public health functions build
on existing wider role– NHS: Delivering health care, every contact counts
and specific public health interventions
