The English local government public health reforms: an independent assessment
Kings Fund 10 January 2020
  • This report, commissioned by the Local Government Association, assesses the success of the 2013 reforms to public health in England, which were part of the Coalition government’s wider health reform programme. The report looks at the effects of the reforms in both the short and longer term and looks at the impact of the changes, and looks into the future and the implications for public health in the context of the NHS long term plan, the government’s prevention consultation and the wider shift to population health systems.
