Local authorities (upper tier and unitary) are responsible for improving the health of their local population and reducing health inequalities.
In 2025 to 2026, the total public health grant to local authorities will be 3.858 billion.
The local authority circular:
- sets out the allocations and conditions for using the grant
- contains annexes A to C
It is accompanied by a year-end statement of assurance letter (annex D) and a spreadsheet containing the full allocations (annex E).
See also the written ministerial statement about the allocations for 2025 to 2026.
