<p>We have not made a specific assessment of the effect of the change in the level
of funding for public health on the COVID-19 outbreak. At the time of the Spending
Round 2019, the Government announced that the public health grant would rise in real
terms, enabling local government to continue to invest in the services it funds. As
part of the response to COVID-19, the Government has announced that it is making a
further £1.6 billion available to councils, in addition to the £1.6 billion already
announced in March, to help support their efforts to keep communities as safe as possible.</p>
