AnnotationPublic values are concerned with state intervention to promote morally desirable ends; and public health involves collective action by and for society as a whole. The paper summarised here sets the scene for the Public Health and Public Values Project at the King's Fund, which aims to engage Londoners in a public debate about how public values relate to current public health issues in the capital. It outlines seven key values identified: equity; compassion and altruism; security; efficiency; choices and autonomy; "health"; and democracy. (RH).
