Across the UK, health is deteriorating and health inequalities are widening.

This is due in large part to growing inequalities in the social determinants of health, which have been damaged by government policies of austerity and associated cuts to services, benefits and the public realm more broadly since 2010.

The Greater London Authority (GLA) funded IHE to conduct a series of reviews to build the evidence for reducing health inequalities in London through action on specific social determinants of health.

The four commissioned reviews cover the health and health equity impacts of structural racism, housing, the cost of living, adult skills.
