What can local government in England do to tackle the leading risk factors for ill health?
Public and global health
Tobacco, alcohol and unhealthy food remain the leading risk factors for ill health in England. In their manifesto, Labour have pledged to introduce national policies to help tackle smoking and unhealthy food. However, building good health depends on a wider system of public services and support, with local authorities playing a key role.
