The Government's White Paper on devolution in England introduces a commitment to create a bespoke duty related to health improvement and health inequalities for strategic authorities (SAs).
The Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES) and The King's Fund are working jointly on a programme of work, commissioned by The Health Foundation, to understand the potential for strategic authorities to have an impact on health inequalities. As part of this we have thought through how this new duty needs to be designed and implemented to be successful, taking into account learning from existing duties.
