Health Protection Agency Act 2004 (2004 c 17)

The Health Protection Agency Act 2004 established the Health Protection Agency (HPA) as a non-departmental public body responsible for protecting public health in the UK. It merged the functions of several existing bodies, thereby centralising expertise in combating infectious disease, chemical hazards, and other environmental threats. The Act granted the HPA authority to provide advice and information, conduct research, and oversee national health protection delivery. A key development was the enablement of rapid and coordinated responses to public health emergencies, enhancing the UK's capacity to manage and mitigate health risks effectively.
