    This report by the Institute of Health Equity (IHE) highlights that a million people in 90% of areas in England lived shorter lives than they should have between 2011 and the start of the pandemic. Using several published ONS data sources, calculations were made from the number of excess deaths in the decade from 2011 in England. The report's findings add to evidence about the cumulative impact of regressive funding cuts associated with austerity on the population's health. As a result of austerity, life expectancy failed to increase, and actually fell for women in the 10% of poorest areas, and health inequalities widened.

    A joint paper by Public Health Wales and Cardiff University has identified a worrying trend of depreciating health inequalities between Wales’ most and least deprived areas. This blog outlines the key findings of the paper, including how the gap in life expectancy increased amongst both men and women between 2002 and 2020. This was primarily caused by large drops in life expectancy in Wales’ most deprived areas, including a sharp decline for women between 2018 and 2020.

    This report by LCP Health Analytics, looks at how inequalities across the medicine life cycle impact patients and populations. It paints a vision of what success could look like, and proposes specific, feasible calls to action across industry, health technology assessment (HTA) bodies and players that could transform the role of the life science sector in reducing inequalities and fostering healthy populations. The report identifies two key challenges in addressing health inequalities that are tractable, and where the life science sector is most likely to make commitments and contributions: Multimorbidity is increasing and embedding inequalities in health Financial incentives across health systems are not aligned with patient and population health

    In the UK today, nearly 40% of the population are living in poverty because of low income. This means that nurses and midwives are likely to meet people experiencing poverty and deprivation as part of their everyday work and should be ready and able to help them access the assistance they need to overcome the associated challenges. This article in the British Journal of Nursing examines the link between financial status and people's health and wellbeing. The article includes a case study and suggestions as to how nurses and midwives can promote financial wellbeing.

    Wales has a long history and tradition of upholding universal policies, welfare, sustainability and rights-based approaches to population wellbeing. However, the trends in reducing the health gap are mixed, the rate of improvement is slower than anticipated, and new groups are emerging with disproportionately higher risk of poor health and premature death and disease.  The Welsh Health Equity Solutions Platform has been designed as a resource to find data and solutions relating to health equity. It includes an interactive data dashboard, policy and healthy equity frameworks and international case studies. It aims to support and accelerate healthy prosperous lives for all in Wales.

    This article summarises the findings of research by Healthwatch into the impact of the cost of living crisis on people's decisions about accessing health and care. The research, which surveyed 2000 adults in England, was conducted four times between October 2022 and March 2023. It suggests that people are increasingly avoiding vital health and care services due to the fear of extra costs. Examples include avoiding:   going to a dentist because of the cost of checks ups or treatment  booking an NHS appointment because they couldn’t afford the associated costs, such as accessing the Internet or the cost of a phone call  buying over the counter medication they normally rely on  taking up one or more NHS prescriptions because of the cost. Healthwatch sets out a series of recommendations, including ensuring that the support available to help with healthcare costs is communicated to those that need it.

    England is the only country in the UK to still charge patients for prescriptions, with charges having been abolished in Wales and Scotland in 2007 and 2011, respectively. However, for patients in England, the cost is rising; in March 2023, the government announced an inflationary increase of 3.21%, bringing the prescription charge up to £9.65. And the number of people eligible to pay could increase, following government proposals to raise the upper age exemption for free prescriptions from 60 to 65 years. This article looks at the impact of prescription charges on health inequalities, particularly focusing on the impact of the cost of living crisis. The reporter speaks to pharmacists who regularly see patients making difficult choices about which prescriptions to collect, as well as highlighting research that suggests many patients with long term conditions are forgoing their medications as they cannot afford them.

    This BMJ article by journalist Andrew Kersley reports on a meeting of 157 medical experts and academics held at the Royal Society of Medicine on poverty and the cost-of-living crisis, which took place in May 2023. One academic at the event warned that the long term effect of ongoing economic inequality on life expectancy was worse than six unmitigated covid pandemics. The three solutions proposed at the meeting that received the most support were: a national strategy to tackle poverty the nationwide delivery of “more affordable, quality, secure social and rental housing” urgently increasing the rate of Universal Credit as well as removing the restrictions related to total benefits and multiple children.

    This report by The King's Fund is part of new research project that explores how NHS providers and integrated care systems (ICSs) are approaching inclusive recovery. It highlights that in 2022, people in the most deprived areas were twice as likely to be waiting more than a year for elective care compared to people in the least deprived areas. The report explores three big questions health and care leaders should be asking themselves and their teams about inequalities in their elective backlog:How are we measuring inequalities and whyDo we know why inequalities existHow will we know if things are improving?
