Asked by: Joan Ryan (The Independent Group for Change - Enfield North)
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps he is taking to increase to at least the London average the level of public health funding allocated to the London borough of Enfield.
Answered by Seema Kennedy
The allocations of grant funding for public health to the London Borough of Enfield for each year since 2015/16 are shown in the following table:
Year | Grant allocation (£000) |
2015/16 | £15,670* |
2016/17 | £17,708** |
2017/18 | £17,272 |
2018/19 | £16,828 |
2019/20 | £16,384 |
Notes:
*Allocation reflects the transfer to local authorities (LAs) in October 2015 of funding for services for children aged 0 – 5.
**Allocation reflects the full-year effect of the mid-2015/16 transfer.
The grant is ring-fenced for use exclusively on public health, but within that LAs must decide their own priorities for action. LAs’ public health funding for 2020 onwards will be considered under the next spending review.
We have made no specific assessment of any relationship between funding since 2015 and the effectiveness of services in Enfield. Public Health England (PHE) monitors and publishes data on trends in each LA in England for the wide range of indicators of public health set out in the Public Health Outcomes Framework. That framework can be found at the following link:

In addition, the PHE ‘dashboard’ shows data for a smaller set of key indicators for all LAs, including Enfield, in ways that allow comparisons to be made. It is available at the following link:
