DoH public health funding consultation under way

摘要

Councils have been asked how the £200m reduction in public health funding should be implemented in a new consultation document. The Department of Health (DoH) has opened its consultation on the £200m reduction to the Public Health Grant, stating its preferred option is a standard 6.2% cut to all local authorities. However, it is also asking for feedback on other options such as identifying which local authorities have more in unspent reserves or reducing the grant dependent on individual circumstances.
