Marmot Review
21 July 2009
The Review follows the publication of the global Commission on Social Determinants of Health, also chaired by Sir Michael Marmot and published by the WHO. The CSDH advocated that national governments develop and implement strategies and policies suited to their particular national context aimed at improving health equity. The English review is a response to that recommendation and to the government's commitment to reducing health inequalities in England.
The aim of the Review is to propose an evidence based strategy for reducing health inequalities from 2010. The strategy will include policies and interventions that address the social determinants of health inequalities.
An interim report on a the evidence and emerging themes of the independent strategic review of health inequalities post 2010, led by Professor Sir Michael Marmot has been published for consultation. The consultation closes on 5 August 2009 and can be accessed at www.ucl.ac.uk/marmotreview
This is particularly key to the NW as NHS NW and the NWDA have agreed to work closely with the Review team with a view to potentially being a test bed for the implementation of the recommendations.
