1. Taking our health for granted: Plugging the public health grant funding gap
Our new briefing paper assesses the extent of cuts to the public health grant since 2014/15 and projects the amount required per year to plug the funding gap that now exists. We have called for an additional £3.2bn a year to reverse the cuts and ensure funding is re-allocated according to need.
