<p>Local authorities will receive over £3.1 billion in 2019/20 for use on public health,
including for sexual 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>Local authorities
report their spending on public health against a series of spend categories, including
for sexual and reproductive health. The spend data is published by the Ministry of
Housing, Communities and Local Government. Public Health England monitors and publishes
data on trends for the wide range of indicators of public health set out in the Public
Health Outcomes Framework. Most are stable or improving. That framework can be found
