Tackling health inequalities through devolution
This report sets out a vision for tackling health inequalities across England through devolution. The research explores the case for regional devolution as an effective approach towards narrowing health inequalities, and sets out key considerations for the government to push forward on this agenda. This includes: ensuring that economic growth acts to narrow rather than deepen health inequalities; enabling stronger joint working between local and regional government and integrated care systems to address health inequalities; and delivering a fairer funding deal for councils.
