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 2018, local authorities will receive a £3.3 billion public health grant for their public health duties for all ages.
The local authority circular sets out the allocations and conditions for using the grant.
The local authorities in Greater Manchester piloting the business rates retention will not receive a grant from the government and are therefore not governed by the grant conditions.
