INTRODUCTION
Public health can be defined as the health of overall population who stayed in a particular
country. The main role which is performed by public health is to reduce the injuries, illness that

health of citizens of a country. Health inequalities states the difference between the health status
of subjects or person who grow in the social conditions of a country. Public health of England
works as the executive agency for the department of health and social care of the United
Kingdom (Pacula and et. al., 2014). The (PHE) Public Health of England was formulated in the
year 2013 in order to perform their work under the National health service. The main motive of
the PHE's is to “defend the health of individuals of overall United Kingdom”. This project
highlights on the issue related of health against which PHE (Public Health of England)
undertakes various steps to overcome from the issue.
Main Body
The health status of the people is a major concern for the government of each country because
people are the major strength of any country. This determines that healthy people works with
more efficiency which increases the productivity of a particular country. In context of health
status of the UK specifically England people is improved. Whereas, due to the constant issue of
alcohol and tobacoo consumption there is regular impact on the health of public. The regular
consumption of the nicotines impact on health as well as behavioural aspects of a person. Due to
which the living standard and health concerns of a country will be low. The major concern about
the study is to understand mental health, Dementia and Neurology (O’Brien and et. al., 2014).
This Almost from the recent three years till 2017, 28% percent of overall England people face
critical challenges due to the intake of alcohol. Therefore, the Public Health of England raises
various steps in order to develop a path that keep the right record about the health of people. For
this the researcher, scientist and other staff generates awareness through social media tools,
advertisement and campaigns, role plays etc.
Alcohol in the UK formulates an negative impact on the overall performance and productivity of
the UK population. The researcher and management of fingertips is more concerned about the
issue which are faced by them due to high consumption of alcohol drinks by the society.
According to the National statistics more than 80% drinkers consume alcohol on regular basis.

Specifically, 24% adults of England are regular drinkers along with they are heavy drinkers due
to which the productivity of their work is too low. But after the action taken by the public health
of England the rate of drinkers is reduced with 15% which is an advantageous factor for the
government and citizens of England (McKee and Capewell, 2015). This statement determines
that in the year 2008 more than 47% of population of England consumer alcohol on daily basis.
So as compare to the background and preceding years there is high growth is monitored and
analysed after the year of 2013 due to constant efforts of public health agency. The
consumption of the in-exotic substances impact on physical activity as well as on various factors
which are related with behaviour aspects such as depression, stress and anxiety. It governs that
direct as well as indirect all actions of human are impacted due to alcohol issue.
From the recent years there is high consumption of harmful substances generates various
problems for the citizens of overall United Kingdom. So government decided to deal with this
factors on behalf of them. This action results a committee which is known as Public Health
England. The major concerns or priority areas of the administrative unit is to reduce harmful
drinking as high consumption of Alcohol is the major reason of death, bad-digestion and
disability among the people. Moreover, alcohol is one of the major reason in different types of
diseases such as mouth, throat, stomach, high blood pressure etc. So it is mandatory for the
government to deal with this issue in order to protect the health of individuals from the issue of
alcohol. Therefore, the first step which is raised by Public Health is to analyse the utilisation of
consumption on daily basis. For the activity of monitoring the uses of alcohol public health
communicates with Local profiles of England in order to ensure the local authorities of England
to analyse the number of profiles which provides and delivers alcohol, tobacoo or nicotine
substances to the consumers. They provides local side data of local comparison along with the
national commission of health improvement. It governs that data provided by various agency to
public health records all the uses of substances as per their usage such as alcohol utilisation,
consumption of tobacoo products (Khoury and Ioannidis, 2014).
Major diseases which are raised due to consumption of alcohol relates with the mental health,
dementia and neurology. So the researcher of public health England undertakes all essential tools
to deal with all the concerns related with in-exotic substances. United Kingdom is a developed
country so it is mandatory for the government to deal with issue of in-taking harmful substances
which are related with health. This tools provides and undertake wide range of information about

mental health and dementia so the major focus on the area is to develop those methods by which
there is reduce down in the consumption of harmful substances. Department of Public Health
England is more focused on the England because it represent the United Kingdom as a Royal
city. For improving this government and public health England establish the aim of signpost and
increase awareness about the neurological and mental health all most in all the parts or societies
of England (Coulter, Kenst and Bowen, 2014).
Their are various factors relates with consumption of alcohol such as price, age, health and
income of a person. All of the mention factors impacts on the sale of alcohol and tobacoo on
direct as well as indirect bases. The PHE(Public Health England) analysed and found out that
European region and England are two major areas which are related with risk factors that is
based on the consumption of units of alcohol. According to the graph it is stated that 0 to 10%
population are non-drinkers while the remaining 90% population is related with drinkers society.
Further, the risk of health and diseases is based on the units that is consumed by the individuals.
In the present scenario government is more concerned about the factors related with health and
diseases. As it is reducing the risk factors and consumption of units due to which there is regular

increase in the initial years but after the year 2014, committee of public health England
undertakes takes different steps to reduce the level of harmful drinking. In the preparation of this
report there are various issue and factors that are related with health and consumption of in-
exotic substances is included in this report. This is mandatory for Public Health England to
collect the actual number of Alcohol drinkers who prefer high drinking units. It determines that
wide range of mental and health diseases (Blue and et. al., 2016). So the hospital data is one of
the most important sector by which essential information that happens due to the alcohol
consumption are included to make reliable information. The facility of collecting data about all
types of separating data formulates positive results as all of the essential information is delegated
such as which substances is more harmful for the health of people. This activity produces
effective results it is easy for Public Health England to develop those diagnosis actions which
make positive results for the country.
The ambition of Public Health England is to increase the life journey of individuals for long term
period. But according to the current trends there is large number of problems are faced by
committee because individuals who are engage in this activities face unpreventable diseases.
This activities are difficult to manage because people consume those substances which impacts
not on physical activities but also on behavioural aspects of society. This factors impacts on the
issue which relates with public health. The major concerns about the health issue that raises due
to alcohol relates with the factor to make those issue is relates to make those inductor to make
those factors in this areas through which it takes on those factors to make areas. This results in
making those areas due to which it is related with those areas by which they make long term
profits to generate those areas to secondary diagnosis among the broad measure. Their are
various admissions related to different factors are included, while it is also mandatory for the
public health England to prevent alcohol and tobacoo uses because it increases the number of
deaths that takes place due to the consumption of the alcohol (Birn, 2014). Moreover, there are
various issue are also faced by them which generates issue in all factors such as in declining the
per capita income, negative impacts on brain facility and the increase in rate of illness, injury and
the death because of high alcohol consumption rate.
In the present scenario, there are various factors relates with the alcohol consumption so to
reduce down this factor. Public health England start participating and formulating their
advertisement campaigns with the educational institutions as it leads them to reduce down the

number of middle aged drinkers. In this factor, the major benefit which is received by society
relates with the drinking problems as it low in number represent the better health benefits to the
society. It is the first step which develop the alcohol structure in a new form by re-framing it
into new awareness factors that are related with the alcohol and its negative impacts on the health
of the consumer (Adams and et. al., 2017). The main aim to develop their relations with the
framework about the society is due to their social norms which is beneficial to reduce the number
of number of occasional drinkers. Further, the another major step which is taken by public health
England is to increase awareness among people that they are drinking over the limit of no risk.
Example- In England most of the people take their drinks after work, few beers watching football
matches and late night parties by skipping their dinner. It results it increases the number of
alcohol level which results in increasing the number of diseases in their body.
Conclusion
By monitoring all the above factors it is analysed that consumption of the in-exotic substances
reduces the overall body productivity of a human body. Alcohol, nicotine and tobacoo are some
of the major products that are uses by most of the population of a country. Moreover, the
consumption tobacoo and alcohol products creates serious life problems such as cancer and
death. Along, with this by analysing all factors it can be recommended that the best manner to
reduce the negative impact about bad drinking habits is to improve the diet plan and exercise
more. It results that individuals are able to maintain healthy life style that decreases the negative
impact of alcohol products. The another recommendation relates with the awareness of fitness
challenges which is controlled by public health England. With the help of social media it is easy
to also start it as a trend among the citizens of country. In the last, it is essential to control this
activities because tobacoo and alcohol products are increasing in the number of social health
problems. So by maintaining fitness and balance acute and appropriate work culture is developed
