LocalGov co uk - Your authority on UK local government - Councils call for urgent action to tackle health inequalities

Councils call for urgent action to tackle health inequalities The pandemic has cruelly exposed and exacerbated health and social inequalities, council leaders have warned. The Local Government Association (LGA) said COVID-19 has created a ‘perfect storm’ of existing inequality and disease, leading to higher rates of coronavirus infections and death amongst the most disadvantaged people. It said fundamental change is needed to tackle deep-rooted issues such as overcrowded housing and a lack of access to skills and training. It also called on the Government to drive forward work programmes which reduce inequalities, prevent poor health and improve people’s opportunities to live healthier, more active lives.
