Department of Health

The Department of Health exists to improve the health and wellbeing of people in England.

For the Department of Health, success of Living with Environmental Change would be:

• ensuring that human health and behaviour is fully considered in the development of any cross-sectoral strategies.
• ensuring that there is an opportunity for key Department of Health policy makers to make a focused and targeted input during development of major strategies or commissioning processes.
• ensuring that opportunities exist for the Department of Health to contribute to multi-funder initiatives (as with the Environmental Exposure and Health Initiative) where this is a priority for the Department.
• early communication about the above opportunities.
