Fiscal policies
Support for low and lower incomes
Reducing price barriers (access)
Structural changes in the environment
Legislative and regulatory controls

improving accessibility of services
Intensive support
Starting young

10. Some thoughts on strengthening future public health effort
Structure NO
Professional silos NO
Gate keeping NO
Common goals YES
Collective effort YES
Culture YES
Leadership YES
A suggestion that as we try to get cohesive collective effort across the public health workforce that we don’t start with those in red, but those in green, then the other things will be more likely to be effective

11. Some questions How do we build a sustainable
support network for public health?
How can we work together
on themes, topics that are
already shared objectives?
How well do we know ourselves
and our neighbours?
What role can the Europe SIG
