The nation's health: priorities for the next government

The nation's health: priorities for the next government The Health Foundation -This report looks at how long-term improvements in life expectancy and mortality in the UK have stalled and are falling behind other high-income countries. At the same time the difference between the health of people living in the best- and worst-off communities is widening. It calls for action across the whole of government to address these trends. It asks that investment be directed towards areas of public spending that create the right conditions for people to lead healthy lives. King's Fund - Health Management and Policy Alert
