Public health funding update

The Department of Health has published an update on public health funding for local government.

The document sets out current thinking on local authority public health finance. In particular, it outlines the next steps on moving from the estimates of baseline spending published in February 2012 to actual allocations for 2013/14. The document also provides further information on the high level design of the health premium which will be targeted towards areas with the worst health outcomes and most need, and the conditions on the ring fenced public health grant.
