in communities, and improve public services. It sets mutually reinforcing levelling
up missions to focus the Government’s action, including a health mission to narrow
the gap in healthy life expectancy by 2030, and increase Healthy Life Expectancy by
five years by 2035. The Government also provides a range of support, specifically
to benefit claimants with a drug or alcohol dependency, to overcome their addiction
and move into work.</p>
