Recommendation 8
8
Health inequalities represent a serious and continuing injustice across the country.
Conclusion
Health inequalities represent a serious and continuing injustice across the country. The almost 20-year gap in healthy life expectancy between different parts of the country is morally unacceptable. While the government has set out the right vision for a cross government mission to tackle health inequalities we do not think that approach is being delivered in practice. (Conclusion, Paragraph 32)
