Investigating the impact of the English health inequalities strategy A landmark report into the English health inequalities strategy—a cross government strategy implemented between 1997 and 2010 to reduce health inequalities in England. This was one of the most ambitious strategies of its kind ever undertaken and aimed to tackle the underlying social determinants of health (reducing poverty and disadvantage) rather than the current focus on individual ‘lifestyle’ changes. The English health inequalities strategy was associated with a decline in geographical inequalities in life expectancy, reversing a previously increasing trend. Since the strategy ended, inequalities have started to increase again. The strategy may have reduced geographical health inequalities in life expectancy, and future approaches should learn from this experience. The concerns are that current policies are reversing the achievements of the strategy. Details on the BMJ website.
