Public health in the NHS

P D O Davies

Cardiothoracic Centre—Liverpool, Thomas Drive, Liverpool L14 3PE, UK

The May issue of JRSM reports a further debate on public health in the UK¹. As a chest physician working in Liverpool I am becoming increasingly frustrated by the arguments around public health while my patients and I are daily subjected to extensive tobacco advertising on our television screens and on enormous billboards all around the city. Any debate on public health reorganization seems completely irrelevant in the face of the overwhelming advertising to which we are still subjected by the tobacco industry.
