answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government considers all the relevant factors in setting the level of the public health grant. Over the five years of the current spending review period we are making over £16 billion of grant funding available to local authorities in England exclusively for use on improving health. The grant is only a proportion of the total spending on public health: for example, NHS England commissions national screening and immunisation programmes with a budget of £1.2 billion in 2017/18, and many other interventions occur in National Health Service primary care settings. Public Health England monitors progress against the wide-ranging set of indicators published in the Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHOF) which shows that, as a whole, for the majority of PHOF indicators the trends in England are either broadly constant or have improved in comparison with 2014.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 29/11/2018 16:05:11 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
