Public Health England’s Strategic Plan published

PHE has published its strategic plan for the next four years: Better outcomes by 2020.

The Strategic plan sets out how the organisation intends to protect and improve the public’s health and reduce inequalities over the next four years. It also outlines actions PHE will take over the next year to achieve these aims and deliver its core functions.

It builds on the Department of Health’s Shared Delivery Plan, the NHS Five Year Forward View, and From Evidence into Action.   It confirms the role that PHE will continue to play in the health and care system, building on evidence, prioritising prevention and supporting local government and the NHS.
