Informing healthier choices: Information and intelligence for healthy populations - A consultation

This consultation invites comments from all interested parties and stakeholders on the public health information and intelligence strategy, devised as part of the delivery plan for the White Paper Choosing Health: Making Healthier Choices Easier. The strategy supports wider health priorities such as action on health inequalities, health protection and effective commissioning of health and wellbeing. It aims to improve the availability and quality of health information and intelligence across England and to increase its use to support population health improvement, health protection and work on care standards and quality. The strategy will support the delivery of Choosing Health and the new White Paper Our health, our care, our say: a new direction for community services by making information and knowledge available to local communities to inform their decisions.
