We protect and improve the nation’s health and well-being, and tackle health inequalities so that the poorest and illest benefit most. We provide a nationwide, integrated public health service, supporting people to make healthier choices. We provide expertise, information and intelligence to public health teams based in local authorities and the NHS to secure the biggest improvements in the public’s health. Through providing an integrated health protection service we ensure that everyone is protected from threats to their health from infectious disease and environmental hazards such as radiation, chemicals and poisons.
