Harnessing a public health asset

Lewis, Lisa

Abstract

Health Visitor posts are being axed by Local Authorities as the resource was not ring fenced when commissioning transferred, this is despite the massive public expenditure on the HV Implementation Programme between 2011 and 2016. Public Health remains a priority in the UK and this asset needs to be retained. This paper explores how public health nurses can remain in the public health arena.
