Plain English Summary

Background

Local Authorities (LAs) in England receive a significant amount of funding, known as the Public Health Grant (PHG), to provide essential public health services. However, the value of this grant has decreased over time, making it difficult for LAs to meet the needs of their communities.

Aims and Objectives

The goal of this research project is to:

Methods

The researchers will use a combination of data analysis and interviews with LA staff to achieve their goals. They will (the below may overlap):

Policy Relevance and Dissemination

The findings of this research will be valuable to policymakers and public health practitioners. By providing evidence-based estimates of unmet need, the research can help inform decisions about how to allocate PHG funding and prioritize public health services.

The research team will share their findings through various channels, including:
