Public Health Outcomes Framework

The Public Health Outcomes Framework Healthy lives, healthy people: Improving outcomes and supporting transparency sets out a vision for public health, desired outcomes and the indicators that will help us understand how well public health is being improved and protected.

The framework, published in January 2012, set out a vision for public health, desired outcomes and indicators to aid understanding of how well public health is being improved and protected. It concentrates on two high-level outcomes to be achieved across the public health system and includes 66 supporting indicators, grouped into four ‘domains’ that cover the full spectrum of public health, with a focus not only on how long people live, but on how well they live at all stages of life.

Data for the framework is published at England and upper tier local authority level via an interactive data tool. Outstanding baselines will be added to the tool as they become available.
