AnnotationThis review finds that current models of local government funding systematically disadvantage people in deprived areas, compounding already entrenched health inequalities. It notes that in 2018 25% of services in England's most deprived local authority areas were rated inadequate by the Care Quality Commisssion. The review re-states the "inverse care law" whereby those most in need receive the poorest access to care, and identifies a number of policies that have contributed to this effect.
