PHE, 23 October 2014
- This report sets out PHEs seven key priorities for the coming five to ten years:
- tackling obesity particularly among children
- reducing smoking and stopping children starting
- reducing harmful drinking and alcohol-related hospital admissions
- ensuring every child has the best start in life
- reducing the risk of dementia, its incidence and prevalence in 65-75 year olds
- tackling the growth in antimicrobial resistance
- achieving a year-on-year decline in tuberculosis incidence
- PHE will work with local and central government, clinical commissioning groups and the wider NHS, universities, industry, employers, and the voluntary and community sector to build support and commitment for improving health, making evidence and knowledge on ‘what works’ available to all in a form they can use and spreading best practice.
