Statistics, evidence and tools are being developed to support action by local authorities and the wider public health system to take effective action on health equity.</p><p> </p><p>There is more to do to systematically address inequalities and NHS England aims to improve and measure the impact of their programmes and also better support local commissioners and providers in their work. The NHS England Board discussed health inequalities and life expectancy at a meeting in March 2018, and plans are being developed to take work forward.
