Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what funding he has allocated to the London Borough of Redbridge through the public health grant in each year since 2010.

Unitary and upper tier local authorities have received a public health grant since April 2013, when they assumed responsibility for public health functions and services which had previously been undertaken by the NHS. Data prior to 2013 is therefore unavailable. A table showing the information requested from 2013 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 for 0-5 year olds’ public health services was transferred from the National Health Service to local government from 1 October 2015.
