Public Health England (PHE) was established as an Executive Agency of the Department of Health on 1 April 2013. 184 staff from the Department were transferred to PHE as part of a planned transfer of functions. Their terms and conditions of employment, job titles and salary levels all remained the same.

PHE has since appointed 21 staff formerly employed by the Department as set out below. These appointments were made following competitive selection procedures carried out in accordance with the Civil Service Commission’s recruitment principles.
