Public Health England 2013

The Department of Health has published an article on the tasks ahead for Public Health England. The article 'Global Burden of Disease study shows mixed picture for UK health' sets out current health comparison with other countries and aims for improvements.

The five main health challenges within the UK population are seen as smoking, alcohol, obesity, inactivity & high blood pressure.

Linked with the aim to reduce the number of cases of high blood pressure is the drive to reduce salt intake launched today by Anna Soubry.
