    Citation Excerpt :

    The public health community, like other welfare interest groups mostly based in, or reliant upon, the public sector, was largely side-lined, emphasising its status as recipient of the largesse of the wider economy. Some voices raised important questions,69–71 but the general conclusion that there has to be a wider reconfiguration of the political economy, with health at its core, barely featured. Indeed the consultation set up by the WHO in the aftermath of the financial crisis was designed to see how the ‘economic downturn may affect health spending, health services, health-seeking behaviour and health outcomes’ and ‘to make the case for sustaining investments in health’ rather than to reconfigure the economy around ill-health prevention.15,72
