<p>Good physical and mental health are underpinned by many socioeconomic factors beyond
the health service. That is why we are working across the Government to improve air
quality, ensure decent homes, and support disabled people and those with health conditions
to work. The Levelling Up the United Kingdom white paper sets out the Government’s
ambition to improve living standards and wellbeing across the United Kingdom, invest
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>
