The 2015 Spending Review made available £16 billion of funding for local authority public health functions in England over the five-year period. It is for local authorities to determine how best to invest these resources based on assessment of local need and with regard to their statutory duties.

Future funding for local authority public health function will be a matter for the Spending Review.
