Public health post-2013 inquiry launch
27 October 2015
The Health Committee announce short overview inquiry into the impact on public health post-2013 of the Health and Social Care Act reforms.
Scope of inquiry
The Committee plans to consider the impact of the structural changes at a general level, and is likely to consider in particular:
- The delivery of public health functions
- The effectiveness of local authorities in delivering the envisaged improvements to public health
- The public health workforce
- Public health spending.
In addition to this initial overview, the Committee plans to hold a small number of individual “case study” evidence sessions, focusing in greater depth on specific service areas or aspects of public health provision. If you have suggestions for a “case study” area of public health provision which warrants further consideration, please include details in your submission.
