An information day will be held on 21 March in Luxembourg to encourage and help anyone interested in applying for funding under the new public health programme to gain a full understanding of the requirements and conditions. On 1 January 2003, the European Commission adopted the work plan 2003 for the implementation of the Public Health Programme (2003-2008). Priorities defined in the work plan for 2003 concentrate on those actions that will create solid foundations for the overall ambitions of the six year programme to run from 2003 to 2008.

Motion og sundhed som en arena for tilrettelæggelse af offentlig politik og Folkesundhedsprogrammet fra 1999.Exercise and health in a programmatic perspectiveFrom a political angle attention is regularly focused on the presumed connection between exercise and health. Generally speaking, there is interest in integrating exercise even more closely than has been the case to date into the health-oriented work which takes place in all parts of society – though most markedly in or with the participation of the public sector. But what progress is in fact being made in the realisation of the various schemes for allowing exercise and health to interact when it comes to actual initiatives on the ground? This is the fundamental question which this article attempts to tackle. At a more concrete level the aim is to analyse health and exercise as an arena for the planning of public policy. The Nyrup Rasmussen government’s Programme for Public Health (FSP) of 1999 has been taken as a starting point. The choice of this programme as a basis is due to the fact that we can in a small way begin to evaluate its impact. Towards the end of September 2002 the government then in power presented a review of the public health programme. To date this mostly consists of words on paper. Since the two national health programmes of 1999 and 2002 respectively resemble each other to a substantial extent – both in respect to content and to the administrative and social circumstances in which they are realised – it is reasonable to presume that what has proved true of the 1999 Public Health Programme will in broad terms also be true of the 2002 Health Programme. This article attempts to answer the following questions: Why and how did we actually get a public health programme? Why did it appear in the year 1999 and are we to regard it in isolation or is there some purpose in placing it in a historical and international perspective? Why is exercise included as an explicit theme in the public health programme? What are the aims of the public health programme in relation to exercise and are they in the process of being realised? The article’s second question is appended to the endless debate regarding whether and under what conditions exercise is healthy. From a precise understanding of what health and exercise are, the article will briefly touch on this question. The article’s third question demands a description of the health programme’s factual content, which leads on to an assessment of whether specific benchmarks are in the process of being attained. In this respect the article focuses exclusively on the subject of exercise. What of the future? An assessment of the public health programme is valuable in itself, but its value increases substantially if this descriptively formulated assessment is used to suggest what possible scenarios the future might hold for public health and for an area such as exercise.

Analyse af regeringens folkesundhedsprogram 1999-2008 set i relation til ændringen af sygdomsbilledet siden 1900-tallet og diskussion af det nuværende sundhedspolitiske syn på idrætten.Public health and discipline – a cultural analysis of a strategy for instructionIn May 1999 the Danish Government’s Public Health Programme 1999-2008 was published. This article argues that the public health programme was developed as one element in a general slimming down of the welfare state. It will not be possible to maintain standards of welfare unless individuals and social institutions alike undergo a process of slimming down. Seen in this way, the public health programme is part of a project to impose social discipline and order. What has to be regulated is people’s behaviour so that it can become acceptable from the point of view of health. This is made necessary due to changes in the structure of illness during the past century, which in turn have prompted a change in medical focus away from cure and towards prevention. Prevention is a strategy which makes considerable use of a form of risk-moralising which directs itself by and large towards all areas of human activity. The public health programme has in this way changed its focus of operation from a social level to a subject- based, individual level. From this arises a paradox in regard to guilt and responsibility. On the one hand responsibility is taken away from the individual partly by dint of the interference of the state – for example, in relation to smokers – and partly through the way in which plans for prevention manifest themselves. On the other hand there is a tendency towards increased feelings of guilt. The result of this is that a large number of our everyday actions are placed in a health context. Health can no longer be taken for granted but is something to which we have to devote constant attention. The surveillance of health, which was once the task of the medical police, has now become integrated into the life of the individual and has turned into self-surveillance. This indicates that the health project is more concerned with moral than with medical matters.

Newborn screening is the most important preventive public health programme of the 21st century. It is implemented in majority of the developed countries. India and many countries in Asia are yet to start any publicly funded programme despite this having been established practice in many countries for over 50 years.
