5 Marmot Report – Key messages Health inequalities result from social inequalities – requires action on all the social determinants; the causes of the causes Focusing solely on the most disadvantaged will not reduce inequalities sufficiently – action is needed across the social distribution.

A New National Public Health System Whole scale reform of the NHS Commissioning Architecture Unitary/Upper tier local authorities will take statutory responsibility to improve the health of the local population Intention that LAs will bring the perspective of local place into NHS Commissioning Plans Specialist/Accredited Public Health Workforce will now be employed by Local Authorities Potential for greater integration between existing public health workforces

Examples of the key role that districts have in contributing to the broader PH agenda Districts continue to have a leading role in addressing the broader determinants of health through areas such as: Housing – allocation, standards, adaptation and meeting the needs of residents Planning – local development framework and policy shaping health & wellbeing Leisure – Opportunities for physical activity, working with schools etc Environment – Food chain, air quality, pollution etc Licensing – reducing harm from excessive alcohol consumption Green Space – how this is managed and promoting equitable access Scrutiny – Health & Social Care Panel
