Fairer, Healthier Leeds: Reducing Health Inequalities.
Forum Central is delighted to share the Fairer, Healthier Leeds: Reducing Health Inequalities report (pdf 2.3MB), which has now been published by the Institute of Health Equity (IHE).
This is a significant milestone for Leeds which Forum Central has been involved with and strongly advocated for over the past few years.
The mantra of Marmot is to – join up, scale up and be even bolder in our actions.
Leeds City Council’s Director of Public Health, Victoria Eaton and Cllr Fiona Venner, Executive Member of Equality, Health and Wellbeing circulated the report alongside a briefing paper which summarises the progress of the Marmot City work in Leeds and sets out next steps:
Briefing note. Fairer Healthier Leeds – A Marmot Place (word doc 308 KB)
Within the document are links to the various products that the Institute of Health Equity (IHE), Leeds City Council and the steering group have been working to produce.
They go on to say;
“Our work with Sir Michael Marmot and his team at the Institute of Health Equity aligns with our aim in Leeds of ‘improving the health of the poorest the fastest’ however, the recommendations in the report challenge us to go even further – to join up, scale up and be even bolder in our actions.”
The full suite of Fairer, Healthier Leeds: Reducing Health Inequalities documents are on the IHE website.
Forum Central will continue to engage with this work on behalf of the third sector, alongside VAL and others, and will keep you informed of next steps.
