works transparently, proactively providing government, local government, the NHS, MPs, industry, public health professionals and the public with evidence- based professional, scientific and delivery expertise and advice
ensures there are effective arrangements in place nationally and locally for preparing, planning and responding to health protection concerns and emergencies, including the future impact of climate change
supports local authorities, and through them clinical commissioning groups, by providing evidence and knowledge on local health needs, alongside practical and professional advice on what to do to improve health, and by taking action nationally where it makes sense to do so 4

10. Outcome-focused priorities
Helping people to live longer and more healthy lives by reducing preventable deaths and the burden of ill health associated with smoking, high blood pressure, obesity, poor diet, poor mental health, insufficient exercise, and alcohol
Reducing the burden of disease and disability in life by focusing on preventing and recovering from the conditions with the greatest impact, including dementia, anxiety, depression and drug dependency
Protecting the country from infectious diseases and environmental hazards, including the growing problem of infections that resist treatment with antibiotics
Supporting families to give children and young people the best start in life, through working with health visiting and school nursing, family nurse partnerships and the Troubled Families programme
Improving health in the workplace by encouraging employers to support their staff, and those moving into and out of the workforce, to lead healthier lives 10

11. Supporting priorities
Promoting the development of place-based public health systems
Developing our own capacity and capability to provide professional, scientific and delivery expertise to our partners 11

15. Reducing Dependency and Demand
Taking a Greater Manchester-wide approach which clearly adds value to reform at district level, particularly to those issues identified in our Community Budget proposals to reduce current and future dependency; early years, troubled families and transforming justice.
Reform of the health and social care system based on significantly improving outcomes from specialist acute services and delivering a substantial reduction in unplanned admissions to hospital and other care institutions
Deployment of common tools and techniques to support cross public service leadership at scale, including cost benefit analysis, investment agreements and data sharing

16. Developing a shared vision for Greater Manchester

17. The published position
“Public Health England will exist to serve the system, a system led locally by elected members” Duncan Selbie’s “Vision for PHE”
Public Health England’s overall mission will be:
to protect and improve the health and wellbeing of the population,
to reduce inequalities in health and wellbeing outcomes.
It will do this in concert with the wider health and social care and public health system, and with key delivery partners including local government, the NHS, and Police and Crime Commissioners, providing expert advice and services and showing national leadership for the public health system.
