Progress in tackling health inequalities: a policy maker’s reflections
This chapter investigates how the New Labour government's policy on health inequalities in England has developed and how the Acheson Report and its recommendations have contributed to its development. It suggests that Acheson laid the foundation for health targets and national targets and that its influence was largely due to its style and content. It explains that the Acheson Report is independent and scientific in nature and it offers a broad view of influences on health inequalities.
