Conclusion

• Ensure Public Health recognises the significance
  of its specialist role within the wider public
  health workforce
• Ensure it effectively delivers on that
• Recognise that the vast majority of the Public
  Health workforce sits outside of the Public
  Health Directorate
• Ensure it builds and develops the capacity and
  skills (intermediate and basic) of the wider
  public health workforce
