Abstract
In his first report on the financial viability of the NHS, Derek Wanless held that ‘health promotion and disease prevention play an important role in moderating the need for care’ (2002, page 117), and went on to conclude:
‘Thanks to the health outcome benefits associated with investment in public health, the UK would find itself much better placed to deal with the (financial) pressures under the “fully engaged”1 scenario, [characterised by] a step change in the way public health is viewed, resourced and delivered nationally’ (page 118).
