Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the value is of funding for public health responsibilities which he plans to reallocate to bodies other than the National Institute for Health Protection as a result of the reorganisation of Public Health England.

The Government is considering the future location of current Public Health England functions, including the detail of what is expected to transfer to the National Institute for Health Protection and what may be undertaken by other organisations. Decisions on the Government’s future public health investment will be taken as part of the Spending Review, which is due to conclude in the autumn.
