The latest Health Inequalities report shows people in NI from poorer backgrounds continue to suffer more ill health and die younger compared to those who are better off. Really pleased to see that Health Minister has identified it as one of his main priority areas. #sdoh
Health Minister Mike Nesbitt has said that the Health Inequalities Annual Report must be essential reading across all parts of public life in Northern Ireland.
➡️health-ni.gov.uk/news/health…
ALT Picture of Minister Nesbitt with quotation: “Health inequalities represent one of my main priority areas as Minister. “I am also clear that this a key issue for all parts of Government, as health inequalities are a symptom and a reflection of wider societal inequalities. The 2024 Health Inequalities Annual Report should be essential reading for everyone across Government and public life. Its findings should be a challenge to us all. “I intend to deliver targeted initiatives in this area in the coming months and to facilitate and encourage an effective cross-Governmental approach.”
