Public Health Outcomes Framework
The Public Health Outcomes Framework examines indicators that help us understand trends in public health.
This data tool currently presents data for available indicators at England and local authority levels, collated by the Office for Health Inequalities and Disparities.

The data is updated quarterly. Details of updates since May 2013 are published on this site. Previous Public Health Outcomes Framework data (published by the former Department of Health) are available on the UK Government Web Archive.
See the policy papers that set out the desired outcomes for public health: Public Health Outcomes Framework 2013 to 2016 and technical updates.
Review of PHOF indicators 2019 to 2022
The Public Health Outcomes Framework details all the indicators included in the policy document across 4 domains. This is reviewed every 3 years to ensure it remains fit for purpose and meets the needs of users.
Every 3 years we consult on changes to the indicators and publish a revised framework based on the findings.
