<p>Local authorities will receive over £3.1 billion in 2019/20 for use on public health.
It is for local authorities themselves to determine how best to use these resources
based on their assessment of local need and with regard to their statutory duties.
This funding is in addition to what the National Health Service spends on preventative
interventions such as immunisation and screening, including over £1.2 billion on national
public health functions in 2018/19.</p><p>Public Health England monitors and publishes
