Proceeding contribution from Howard Stoate (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Public Health (England).


Public Health (England)

We are genuinely having a good debate, and that is welcome. The problem with public health is that it goes far wider than one Department. It involves housing, poverty, unemployment, education, the pensions system, transport, and planning. Public health covers literally every Department, without exception. Will the hon. Gentleman tell me how it is possible to ring-fence a budget that covers every single Department?
