Tackling Health Inequalities

Tackling Health Inequalities

Just under two years ago, The Centre for Public Scrutiny recognised the potential of scrutiny in better understanding local health concerns and set out to demonstrate the active and vital role that it can have in helping Councils and their partners narrow gaps in health inequalities. With funding from Local Government Improvement and Development and the Department of Health, the Health Inequalities Scrutiny Programme was created develop innovative solutions to long-standing inequalities.

Phase one of the programme concluded in March 2011 – however due to the success of the approaches used, we have received funding to extend the programme through to March 2012 (phase two).

Find out more about phase one – and download our publication “Peeling the onion”.
