I should like to remind people in England about the Department of Health consultation on public health which closes on May 28. There doesn't seem much scope to comment on data issues, but we could have a try. There are enough dire trends to complain about.

There are also questions about measuring impacts and changes in outcome.

Anyone up for it?
