History: The Health Education Council was set up in 1968 by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Services, as a successor to the Central Council for Health Education. It was incorporated under the Companies Acts and operated as a registered charity, being constituted for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Although the Council was an independent body, it was mainly funded by the government. The Council comprised a chairman and nineteen other members from the fields of health education, local government, the media and business, appointed by the secretary of state. Its core functions were to advise and promote health education, to act as the national centre for expertise in health education, to provide information, and to commission research into health education. In April 1987, the Council's functions were transferred to the newly-created Health Education Authority.
