Prescription for fairness
As we look to recover from the greatest public health crisis in a century, the need to tackle health inequalities has become even more critical and clear. The Covid-19 pandemic has exposed and exacerbated pre-existing health inequalities whilst also giving rise to a host of new challenges that threaten the goal of achieving equity within our health and social care system, bringing widespread attention to this issue as never before.

This timely collection explores practical solutions for a future government committed to addressing health inequalities post-Covid-19 and determined to offer everyone the chance to a healthy life.
