Public Health: Greater London Asked by: Helen Hayes (Labour - Dulwich and West Norwood) Monday 10th January 2022 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the resourcing of public health departments in London to respond to the spread of the omicron covid-19 variant. Answered by Maggie Throup Since June 2021, local outbreak planning and response is undertaken through the Local Outbreak Management Plans. The development of Local Outbreak Management Plans is led by Directors of Public Health, on behalf of Upper Tier Local Authorities (UTLA) which have statutory responsibility for public health. The Plans are regularly reviewed and assessed by the local National Health Service, general practitioners, employers, voluntary organisations and other community partners. Each UTLA has a local outbreak plan developed in line with the Association of Directors of Public Health’s guiding principles. One of the core principles is to be sufficiently resourced, both financially and with the appropriate expertise.
