Local action on health inequalities
Institute of Health Equity – commissioned by PHE to write
series of evidence reports and briefings about practical, local
actions to tackle health inequalities through the social
determinants of health.
The papers include evidence, practical points and case studies
on approaches and actions that can be taken by local
authorities on range of issues to reduce health inequalities.
Topics include children and young people, education,
employment, the living wage, fuel poverty and understanding
the economics of investments in the social determinants of
health

Plans for further work this year
• Collaborative work on inequalities among people with protected
characteristics, starting with sexual orientation.
• Model social determinants where clear impact on health can be
quantified and broken down by local authority.
