Health inequality

‘Inequalities are a matter of life and death, of health and sickness, of well-being and misery. The fact that in England today people in different social circumstances experience avoidable differences in health, well-being and length of life is, quite simply, unfair. Creating a fairer society is fundamental in improving the health of the whole population and ensuring a fairer distribution of good health.
Inequalities in health arise because of inequalities in society - in the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. So close is the link between particular social and economic features of society and the distribution of health among the population, that the magnitude of health inequalities is a good marker of progress towards creating a fairer society. Taking action to reduce inequalities in health does not require a separate health agenda, but action across the whole of society.’

As the utopianist debate opened up, the exposed soil pipes overhead swished into action-the shit flowed all-round.

No, kidding, it was good and relevant, enjoyed it.
