Adopting a more evidence-based approach to commissioning health prevention services could potentially double the return on investment (ROI) in England from around £11.2bn to £22.4bn per year. According to a report by the NHS Confederation and Carnall Farrar, the current spending of approximately £5bn on public health interventions could be more effective if targeted at high impact areas such as education, vaccines, and employment. By achieving the upper quartile ROI across all interventions, there is potential for a significant increase in the benefits of these services. This shift towards evidence-based commissioning could lead to a more efficient and cost-effective public health system.
