ResumoPublic health did not die out with the disappearance of the medical officer of health, as this volume proves, and if the title of the book means that the old term is returning there will be few regrets at the disappearance of the interloper, ‘community health’. The NHS is in its 50th year, public health in its 150th -and now has a Minister for it (Tessa Jowell wrote the foreword), although whether the creation of Health Action Zones will have the same significance as the medical officer of health remains to be seen.
