ADPH celebrates IHA’s 3rd Anniversary
Today marks three years since the Inequalities in Health Alliance (IHA) was formed.
The IHA, convened by the Royal College of Physicians, has published a revised ‘RCP View’ policy paper on the case for a cross-government strategy to reduce health inequalities, in recognition of the anniversary.
In it, the IHA is calling for:
- a cross-government strategy to reduce health inequalities
- the government to maintain a commitment to publishing the full report of the Major Conditions Strategy in 2024
- political parties to prioritise tackling health inequalities and to commit to a cross-government strategy for tackling health inequalities at the next general election
As a member of the IHA, ADPH echoes these calls and supports action to tackle the widening health inequalities in the UK.
