In April 2013, the public health grant was transferred from the National Health Service to local authorities therefore data is only available from that financial year. A table showing the public health grant allocation for each year for each individual local authority is attached. The value of the public health grant in 2013-14 and 2014-15 is not directly comparable to subsequent years, because responsibility and funding public health services for 0-5 year olds was transferred from the NHS to local government from 1 October 2015.
