RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY
“Life expectancy in the UK continues to rise, but since 2011 it has risen at a slower rate. Healthy life expectancy is not keeping pace with increases in life expectancy, resulting in a growing period of poor health towards the end of life. Inequalities in healthy life expectancy are stark, with people in the least deprived groups living more than 18 years longer in good health than those in the most deprived groups. (Paragraph 30)
We recommend that the Government, along with NHS England, Public Health England, and other agencies, prioritise reducing health inequalities. In its response to this report we request that the Government sets out a plan for reducing health inequalities over the next Parliament. (Paragraph 31)”
