Report: Diagnosis Critical – Launching an inquiry into health and social care in England Researchers find higher rates of preventable deaths in areas where there is both poor health outcomes and hospitals are in financial trouble

Health economists publish new analysis which names 32 areas in England where you are 29% more likely to die of preventable causes.

The Centre for Progressive Policy (CPP) has released a paper today, Diagnosis Critical, which identifies these 32 ‘risk zones’, each of which have below average health outcomes and NHS trusts in deficit.

CPP’s economists have found age-standardised mortality rates for causes considered avoidable, amenable and preventative are 29% higher in these risk zones than in other local authority areas.
