The White Paper Healthy Lives, Healthy People , described a new era for public health, with a higher priority and dedicated resources. There will be ring-fenced public health funding from within the overall NHS budget. Local authorities will have a new role in improving the health and wellbeing of their population as part of a new system with localism at its heart and devolved responsibilities, freedoms and funding. The majority of the public health budget will be spent on local services, either via local authorities through a ring fenced grant or via the NHS. The Department of Health will incentivise action to reduce health inequalities by introducing a new health premium. The purpose of this consultation document is to describe in more detail the proposed key public health functions and responsibilities across the public health system and to set out the proposed commissioning and funding arrangements for delivery of public health services. This consultation document also asks questions about how we should implement some of these proposals. Take part in the Healthy Lives, Healthy People: Consultation on the funding and commissioning routes for public health survey. Survey closed Measuring national well-being

Mental Health FoundationCommunity Treatment Orders were introduced in November 2008 as a way of ensuring that some patients, on discharge from hospital after a period of detention under the Mental Health Act, maintained compliance with their medication. There is not much data about how many Orders have been issued, but it is probably around 4,000 between November 2008 and November 2009. The Mental Health Foundation is looking to find out what carers of people with more serious mental health problems (in effect, people who have been detained in hospital under the Mental Health Act, and may have been discharged under a CTO) think about the Orders.
