Inequalities in Health Alliance welcomes the government’s commitment to tackle health inequalities

The PDA supports this initiative and is part of the IHA which has over 250 member organisations convened by the Royal College of Physicians.

The letter focuses on the commitment to establish a Mission Delivery Board (MDB) to bring together all government departments with an influence over the social determinants of health. The health MDB has the potential to tackle the root causes of illness, such as poor housing, lack of educational opportunity, employment (including how much money someone has), racism and discrimination, food quality and ability to make healthy choices, transport and air quality.
