Just went back to double check my statement about Public Health England having it's funding cut by nearly 50% in the last ten years. Clearly not possible as @aggi correctly pointed out, given that PHE has only existed for 7.
I was inadvertently confusing this with the fact that Public Health spending has been reduced by 44% overall since 2010. 2010 being the year that the intention to create PHE was announced and the initial restructuring to create it began. The closest figure I can find for actual PHE cuts is 25% since 2015.
