§ Miss Melanie JohnsonWe have transformed the National Health Service through extra investment and the hard work of staff.
We are turning our attention to the key public health challenges—obesity, smoking and sexually transmitted infections- and continue to reduce health inequalities.
We will respond to Wanless Report through the forthcoming White Paper on improving people's health. This will be informed by 'Choosing Health', launched on 3 March, which will look at the action required to improve people's health.
