Rationale for decision:

A consumer Duty assessment will not be taken forward in relation to the Population Health Framework, due to its high-level strategic nature that does not directly involve consumer-facing policies or services. However, as individual actions and policies are developed under the Framework, each will be assessed to determine whether a Consumer Duty assessment is warranted, ensuring that the interests of consumers are considered where applicable.

Declaration:

I confirm that the decision not to perform a consumer duty assessment has been authorised by: Richard Foggo, Director for Population Health
