| Annotation | In November 2008, Professor Sir Michael Marmot was asked by the Secretary of State for Health to chair an independent review to propose the most effective evidence-based strategies for reducing health inequalities in England from 2010. The strategy will include policies and interventions that address the social determinants of health inequalities. The Review reports on its main tasks: identifying for the health inequalities challenge facing England, the evidence most relevant to underpinning future policy and action; showing how this evidence could be translated into practice; and advising on possible objectives and measures, building on the experience of the current public service agreement (PSA) target on infant mortality and life expectancy. The review concludes that health inequalities result from social inequalities. Action on health inequalities requires action across all the social determinants of health. Therefore, reducing health inequalities will require action by central and local government, the NHS, the third and private sectors and community groups. National policies will not work without effective local delivery systems focused on health equity in all policies. The Review will be relevant for other countries developing strategies aimed at tackling health inequalities, following the recommendations of the Commission on Social Determinants of Health (CSDH), which was established to support countries and global health partners to address the social factors leading to ill health and inequities. Also available is an executive summary (32 pp). (KJ/RH). |
