"Public health is dealing with a wider malaise in society, that of declining social cohesion. Budget 2024 is merely an expression of that." Economist @seaqub.bsky.social on public health and the 2024 Budget. www.phcc.org.nz/briefing/pub...
Screenshot of text: The centre-piece of Budget 2024 is less revenue and less spending. The implications for public health are two fold: 1) there is less money for clearly identified health programmes, and 2) there is less money for the wider social determinants of health, especially those who are poor and at the margins of society.
