The Public Health Agenda: Strengthening the Democratic Voice

Abstract

The Parliamentary Health Select Committee is currently holding an inquiry into public health. The Democratic Health Network (DHN) gave evidence to the inquiry, based on research among local authorities, on how new health structures are affecting partnership working between health and local government. This article summarises the DHN's evidence, which is based on a broad and inclusive understanding of public health, influenced by many of local government's traditional functions.
