Public Health, Environmental Health:-So What?
Chris Shaw
Director of Health Improvement
Sheffield City Council
We Get It , So What?
Learning from History • PH in local government was led by medical men for much of
19th and 20th centuries• People working for them, engineers, inspectors of nuisances,
HVs• MoH, powerful influences on the work undertaken• MoH constrained - what council was willing to pay for and
what it believed would be effective• Webster - MoHs did not act
collectively esp on poverty• Up to 1974 responsible for
sanitation, prevention, housing, waste, health services for women and children, school health, etc
• Since 1974, attention dwindled, some arguing why should we do it, it’s the NHS job?
Local Government – The Public Health Service

An individuals life circumstances contribute more to health improvement than health care services
Local government is best placed to change life circumstances and improve health

Double Vision?
• Faculty of Public Health, CIEH – spot the difference
‘Leading, inspiring and delivering a safer, cleaner and healthier world.’
‘The world’s population achieves and maintains its fullest potential for health and wellbeing’
Wave Theory
• Public health has delivered in waves over the decades – from the classic water and sanitation of 1800s, to scientific advances into 1950, the post war welfare developments (including the NHS) and risk factor and lifestyle issues from 1960 to now#
• This combination of reforms and a change in the health ‘concerns of the generation present a massive opportunity for redefining a relationship which has always existed but changed with progress in other fields

Community focussed activity How is that better than ours?
New investment What should I stop doing?
Observations• CCG’s have too much to do, you will do well to engage them or
GP’s, you have too much to do too.• Everyone wants a place on Health and Wellbeing Boards• DPH’s are not inclined to change their ‘commissioning’ plans• Members will be on your side. • PH practitioners do not know as much as you about
communities.• PH evidence isn’t all its cracked up to be.• EH will have to rethink its role and relationships if it is to be
involved, Institute can help. • Think health concerns – long term conditions, mental health,
older people• Think Political concerns- Inequality, vulnerable communities,
strategic priorities
Ideas
• Health and safety- local accident data, Lofstedt, different intervention,
• Food – what are the PH threats? Food strategy, salt, transfats,
• Combine Protection with Improvement • Housing- vulnerable communities, private
rented , fuel poverty , Cat 1 hazards• Wellbeing + resilience – opportunity?
We get it, so what –next ?
