The Government has already set out a strong agenda for preventative services which boost public health. But with broad public support for public health policy, it has the opportunity to take even bolder action to ensure a healthier future for the nation and reduce inequalities. 👇
Tobacco, alcohol and unhealthy food remain the leading risk factors for ill health. Our public polling, carried out just before the general election was called, suggests that there is broad public support for a bolder approach to public health policy from government. Support for several of these policies was greater among those who intended to vote Labour than those who planned to vote Conservative. This includes minimum unit alcohol pricing and taxing organisations that produce food high in sugar or salt, with some revenue being used to fund fruit and veg for low-income families. With legislation on unhealthy food and tobacco included in the King’s Speech, the new government has already shown its intent to take bold action on public health – although alcohol policy remains neglected. Bold policies will be essential if Labour is to meet its ambitions to improve healthy life expectancy and reduce inequalities.
