Details
Local authorities (upper tier and unitary) are responsible for improving the health of their local population and reducing health inequalities.
In the financial year ending 2017, local authorities will receive a £3.4 billion public health grant for their public health duties. This includes public health responsibilities for children aged 0 to 5, which transferred to local authorities in October 2015.
The local authority circular sets out the allocations and conditions for using the grant. Details of the public health grants to LAs from 2013 to 2016 are available.
