<p>No assessment has been made of the effect of funding for Public Health England
(PHE) on its ability to reduce health inequalities for people with epilepsy.</p><p>PHE
continues to provide data, intelligence and evidence-based advice to local authorities
and the National Health Service on health inequalities and impacts for specific population
groups.</p><p>In February 2018, PHE published data analysis for local authorities
and the NHS highlighting the number and rate of deaths associated with epilepsy and
other neurological conditions. The report identified inequalities in deaths associated
with epilepsy and encourages local action. The report can be viewed at the following

also provides access to intelligence resources on neurological conditions including
epilepsy via the ‘Neurology data and analysis: a guide for health professionals’ page
on Gov.uk, available to view at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/neurology-data-and-analysis-a-guide-for-health-professionals"
