Local action on health inequalities Institute of Health Equity – commissioned by PHE to write series of evidence reports and briefings about practical, local actions to tackle health inequalities through the social determinants of health. The papers include evidence, practical points and case studies on approaches and actions that can be taken by local authorities on range of issues to reduce health inequalities. Topics include children and young people, education, employment, the living wage, fuel poverty and understanding the economics of investments in the social determinants of health 17

Plans for further work this year Collaborative work on inequalities among people with protected characteristics, starting with sexual orientation. Model social determinants where clear impact on health can be quantified and broken down by local authority. 18
