The Strategy Unit October 2020
- This analysis, commissioned by the Healthier Futures Academy in the Black Country and West Birmingham, illustrates the effects that a Covid-driven recession could have on population health. Modelling undertaken by the Strategy Unit estimates that the socio-economic impacts alone could generate additional demand of up to 16% for physical health services and 27% for mental health services. It frames a discussion about how the NHS, with other local organisations, can more effectively address the causes as well as the effects of ill health.
