Objectives set out in the strategy for reducing health inequalities in London are to:

·         Empower individual Londoners and their communities to improve health and well being.

·         Improve access to London’s health and social care services, particularly for Londoners who have poorer health outcomes.

·         Reduce income inequalities and minimise the negative health consequences of relative poverty.

·         Increase opportunities for people to access the potential benefits of work and other forms of meaningful activity.

·         Develop and promote London as a healthy place for all – from homes to neighbourhoods and the city as a whole. 

The publication of this draft starts a three month period of consultation with the public and other stakeholders
