Dr Marmot & Health Inequalities

We attended the Health and Inequalities talk by Dr Marmot at this year’s Festival of Debate. The talk focused on how inequality in health has and had an impact, predominantly in the last decade. Dr Marmot suggested that "There were one million excess deaths linked to deprivation between 2010 and 2020".

There are many factors to health inequalities where you grow up,  the colour of your skin, geography including postcode, and your financial situation. 

Although we don’t have all the solutions right now, we will continue to advocate. We won’t try to fill out the page!
