Proceeding contribution from Joan Walley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 30 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Health White Paper.


Public Health White Paper

Whatever Government were in power, I would welcome an enhanced role for environmental health officers in improving public health policy. Given the depth of the coming cuts to local authority budgets, however, there is real concern, regardless of the ring-fencing statement we have had, as to whether there will be sufficient resources and capacity for environmental health officers. Does the Secretary of State intend to have an environmental health officer at chief officer level inside the Department of Health?
