| Annotation | In August 2001, the Department of Health (DH) published a consultation document, "Tackling health inequalities: consultation on a plan for delivery". This London Health Observatory paper aims to contribute to a London perspective on the consultation. It reports the first phase of a study assessing differentials and trends in the two national health inequalities within London: infant mortality and life expectancy. It presents inequalities in life expectancy and trends throughout the 1990s for the smallest geographic area possible, and the likely picture of inequality in 2010 if current trends continue. It aims to help health and other agencies to understand better the extent of inequality in London, and provides common information across the capital that is comparable with national targets. (RH). |
