Can identifiable health data be accessed?

Only where necessary, authorised and secure, using aggregated or minimised information whenever it can meet the purpose.

Who approves public-health advice?

State which routine materials the officer may issue and which policy, emergency or media messages require senior approval.

Can work with several councils be required?

Yes, with the employing body's authority, travel, information-sharing and partner decision boundaries made clear.

Use agreed indicators, data quality checks, limitations and reporting periods rather than attributing every change to one intervention.
