COVID-19 impact inquiry: Exploring the pandemic's implications for health and health inequalities

Summary

The Health Foundation has launched a time-limited UK-wide inquiry to consider:

• how people’s experience of the pandemic was influenced by their health and existing inequalities
• the likely impact of actions taken in response to the pandemic on people’s health and health inequalities – now and in the future.

The inquiry is gathering evidence from a wide range of sources to highlight implications for the government decision making and the investment needed to ensure everyone can enjoy the same opportunity for good health and wellbeing. The Health Foundation aim to share the findings from the inquiry in Summer 2021.
