- The purpose of this report is to help stakeholders (NHS providers and CCGs), local authorities, health and social care providers, housing associations, fire authorities and the police) to develop a place-based approach to understanding the correlation between the economic, social and environmental health determinants and health outcomes within their locality.
- The report presents an index based on league tables that assess 33 key health determinants and outcomes for the 324 local authorities to provide a coherent national story on health and wellbeing for England.
- The data draws on proprietary data including composite measures and scores relating to occupations, unemployment, deprivation, quality of life and natural environment.
- A correlation assessment of the health determinants measured and the outcomes shows that the determinants that most influence health outcomes are tackling child poverty, deprivation, unemployment, childhood education and social cohesion.
