engagement.
The present assignment will base on object to improve health of population that promote and
protect the health of community. However, the health promotion is crucial agenda for legal
authorities,
However, report will examine public health policy that developed to improve the health of

TASK 1
1.1 Discussion on process for developing public health policy.
Public policy defined as action that taken by legal authorities. This is effective in terms to
solve problems and to improve the quality of life. Hence, process for developing public health
policy defined as agenda building, formulation, adoption, implementation, evaluation and
termination. This, its defined in below contexed manner as-
Identification of problem- The number of problem exists but for an issue to make it in
public policy agenda, it must be salient issues that stands out and encountered by large interest of
groups (Flora, Schooler and Pierson, 2018). For example- American society tolerates certain
level of crime, at the moment when the rate of crime enhances dramatically than this become the
serious problem and it becomes the issue for policy makers to address things kind of conflicts
with better solution.
Formulation and adoption- Policy formulation that come up with an approach to sort out
the issue. This is the second issues that works as to identify the problem and setting out the
agenda (Influencing health policy audiences. 2018). Henceforth, the policy makers work as to
adopts several courses of action and to adopt one best possible solution so that better things can
be done. At this stage, it is crucial to come up with the one best possible solution that aids to
handle systematic activities.
1

Implementation- It needs to be carried out systematic policy formulation that can be
accomplished by institution. This is stage at which there are number of actions and mechanism at
which policies are bough into practice. Henceforth, several factors are combine that determine
the actual effects of policy and how its achieve objectives.
Evaluation and termination- This is term that defined as to determine that how policy is
actually working and this is not an easy task. Therefore, policy making stage includes process,
monitoring, analysis, criticism and assessment of proposed policies (Burton and et.al., 2019).
This is one of the effective state as it determines the gap between actual and planned process.
Henceforth, better evaluation must be taken to assist legal authorities to implement policies in
effective and efficient manner.
1.2 Identification on potential groups that can influence public health policy.
There are range of policy makes and they all are responsible to health legislation within the
country. Therefore, potential groups that influence public health policy are defined in below
contexed manner as-
Politician and political parties- The legal authorities do not sit at the level of local,
regional and national. Henceforth, policies need to be influenced through specialist committees
by developing manifest and commitment of policy (Fletcher and et.al., 2018). Thus, the
intervention of political parties may affect the public health policy.
Statutory bodies- Under it, care quality commission, health care inspector and NHS legal
authorities plays key role in implementing the public health policies. Thus, they are legal that can
influence the public health policies at the wider scope.
Ministers- The visible, influential, legal ministers can be difficult to reach and require
high targeted approach h. Henceforth, departments of health have right to review the public
health polices and they can be open to the approaches by external experts and source of
information.

implementing workplace policies. Thus, their main role is to develop policy in an area that

influence public health polices system (Public Policy Models and Their Usefulness in Public
Health: The Stages Model. 2018).

2

procedures and standard that their member must meet in terms to practices legally. Henceforth,
professional bodies are as- Nursing and midwifery council, British medical association and NHS
professionals are playing the effective role in order to represent the interest of members and also
this can influence the public health policy.

effected through mandatory health insurance and other social insurance. Thus, public health is
need to be promoted and should be concerned in terms to disease prevention and control of the
level of the population (Kimura and et.al., 2018). Henceforth, health care regulations are
developed and implemented at the all level of the government as federal, state and local and also
by the private enterprises. Hence, health care enterprise and standards are crucial to meet and to
provide safe health care to each individual who can access to the system.
Additionally, legal authorities must take initiatives steps to have effective control over the
price of medication and medical services through the effective regulation and negotiation. Thus,
health care organisation and legal authorities are equally responsible to provides better and
effective care practices to patients.

the activity can be targeted towards the high-risk groups and diverted population. It is kind of
health promotion that seeks to enhance medical intervention. Therefore, this term can aid to
prevent ill health and premature death. Hence, three level of approaches are as-
 Primary prevention
