9 Scope shaped by considering: Essential public health functions; Standards for Public Health Programs and Services Health needs of the population from public health perspective and functions; Impact and effectiveness of current program standards; Most appropriate role for public health sector within an integrated health system; and Enhanced emphasis on responding to local needs and decreasing health inequities by addressing the needs of priority populations and planning programs to address identified local needs.
