Summary
The burden of multiple conditions is unevenly distributed across the population, and evidence shows that people living in the most deprived areas are developing conditions on average 10-15 years earlier than those living in the least. This report from The Taskforce on Multiple Conditions established by The Richmond Group of Charities, outlines a series of key questions and opportunities for change, designed to support and shape the plans and actions of everyone responsible for the delivery of health and care services.
The research for the report focused on four areas of England containing communities on low incomes, people from minority ethnic groups and people living in both urban and rural environments. A rapid evidence review into the literature on health inequalities and multiple long-term conditions was also carried out to inform the report.
