Details

The Common Framework on Public Health Protection and Health Security has been jointly developed and agreed between:

• the UK government
• the Welsh Government
• the Scottish Government
• the Northern Ireland Executive
• each of the UK’s national public health agencies

It provides a formal basis and governance structure for collaboration between all parts of the UK on health security and health protection policy. It supports cooperation on issues which require UK-wide approaches, as well as on devolved issues where the sharing of knowledge and expertise is beneficial.
