Over half a million new sexually transmitted infections were diagnosed last year, and one in ten people getting an infection will be re-infected within a year. Poor mental health is estimated to be responsible for nearly a quarter of the overall burden of long-standing poor health. People in the poorest areas expect to live up to 7 years less than people in richer areas.

17. Defining Commissioning responsibilities Table A details activities that will be funded by the PH budget – column 2 Table A sets out the proposed primary commissioning routes for the PH funded services – column 3

18. Possible allocation approaches ‘Utilisation’ – modelling the statistical relationship between current patterns of PH activity and need across the country ‘Cost-effectiveness’ – potential gains in health outcomes across the country ‘Population health measures’ – measures of health outcomes such as SMR or Disability Free LE – higher allocation to areas of poorer health taking into account HI Proposal: Pace-of-change policy

19. Health Premium Applies to that part of the PH budget which is for health improvement Building on baseline allocation – LAs to receive the health premium based on progress made in improving health and reducing health HI – based on elements of the PH Outcomes Framework Simple Premium – driven by a formula developed with local government, PH experts and academics Greater premium for disadvantaged areas – if progress is made – recognising they face the greatest challenges A premium that does not distort local decisions: needs to incentivise health improvements such that inequalities are reduced as overall health improves Funded from within the funds available for PH – opportunities to reprioritise discretionary central public health funding. Part of the progressive rebalancing of central and local budgets Sliding scale premium depending on the size and extent of LAs progress: relative to local authorities’ position in terms of relative health outcomes
