“Targeted action is needed in the hardest-hit communities, informed by robust research and combining prevention and healthcare with action on the wider social and economic determinants of health.”
“Targeted action is needed in the hardest-hit communities, informed by robust research and combining prevention and healthcare with action on the wider social and economic determinants of health.”
“Head and neck cancer is a cruel disease that can have life threatening and life changing effects on patients.”
“Sadly these deeply concerning figures on a decrease in healthy life expectancy are not a surprise. We know over the past decade and a half the North has seen disproportionate cuts in areas which support good health - notably in welfare support, Sure Start centres, the public health grant, and through the implementation of the two child limit which has driven child poverty.”
