Reflections on 'Healthy Places, Prosperous Lives'

In January 2024 the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) published their report 'Healthy Places, Prosperous Lives'. At ECS, this made us reflect on the health outcomes and levels of deprivation in our seven local Healthwatch areas-what challenges are there in those areas and how do they differ?

The statistics show us that what impacts in each area is different and that the need for a localised approach to engagement is vital to ensure that all members of our communities are able to provide feedback to improve access and experiences of health and social care services.
