London Public Health Observatory: Local Basket of Indicators for Health Inequalities
The London Public Health Observatory was commissioned by the Department of Health to develop a local basket of inequalities indicators. The local basket was released in October 2003, following the launch of Tackling Health Inequalities: Programme for Action in July 2003. It contains an initial set of 70 indicators, measures of health status or health outcomes, measures of the determinants of health, measures of access to services and process measures. The main purpose of the local basket of indicators is to help support local action to achieve the Government's national inequalities targets for life expectancy and infant mortality, by highlighting information relevant to addressing the targets and assisting local areas with monitoring progress towards reducing health inequalities.
