From social injustice to health, wealth and wellbeing for all in the North West
20 October 2009
The DW Stadium, Wigan
Closing the gap between the health and wellbeing of those who are the most and the least well off in our communities in the North West has proved difficult even when the financial environment appeared more favourable than it is now. Many of the decisions taken in the past have inadvertently created some of the health problems that we face today. So closing this gap in a generation is a major challenge.
Tackling these challenges is not only a matter of social justice as described by the Global Commission on the social determinants of health, but is crucial for building a solid, sustainable economy with a healthy workforce and functioning, capable, self-reliant communities.
