Project Food Urges Government to Prioritise Public Health Amid Economic Challenges

Project Food, along with other organisations, has signed an open letter to the Prime Minister and Chancellor to highlight the urgent action needed to improve the nation’s health.

The letter emphasises the urgent need for action to improve the nation’s health, highlighting how austerity measures and the Covid-19 pandemic have left lasting impacts. It points out that poor economic performance is both a cause and a consequence of poor health.

The letter calls for comprehensive strategies to address these intertwined issues, advocating for policies that ensure better health outcomes and economic stability. It’s a significant step in urging the government to prioritise public health as a foundation for economic recovery and resilience.

Project Food is committed to raising the profile of public health. By advocating for greater attention to public health issues, we are helping to ensure that the government and society recognise the importance of health as a foundation for overall well-being and economic stability.

Our involvement highlights the need for comprehensive policies that address the root causes of poor health, such as socioeconomic disparities and access to healthcare. It’s about creating a healthier future for everyone, which in turn can lead to a more robust and resilient economy.
