Public Health - UK

-----Original Message-----From:
David McDaid LSE Health and Social CareDear All

As you may know UK Prime Minister Tony Blair has embarked upon a series of lectures setting out his thoughts on vital issues to the nation. The first of these took place at the end of July in Bristol and concentrated on public health issues - and in particular how to encourage individuals to lead healthier lifestyles.

A series of expert background papers on public health issues were prepared for this - and are available on-line. The titles and contributors below.
