• Health protection – which includes infectious diseases, immunisation and vaccination, chemicals and poisons, radiation, emergency response, environmental health hazards;
• Health improvement – which includes tackling health inequalities, monitoring specific risk factors, screening; and
• Health service quality improvement – which includes   clinical effectiveness, evidence-based medicine, efficiency, service planning, audit and evaluation. 

To prepare for this, East Sussex County Council, the Primary Care Trust and the Public Health team have been undertaking a range of activities since February 2011 including:

• A stakeholder event in February 2011 to provide an initial opportunity to meet with key stakeholders to get to a shared level of understanding about the new public health agenda and to get their involvement and ownership in its future delivery;
   
• A service review undertaken by Solutions for Public Health. As part of the service review, a workshop was held in October 2011. The slides and notes from the workshop are uploaded as useful documents; and

• The service review report will be available in Spring 2012 with a full action plan.
