Webinar: Levelling up health – a national strategy driven by local government

Thursday 30th September 2021
With The Health Foundation

Health should lie at the heart of any government strategy to level up the economy. Healthier communities are more prosperous communities, and our health is strongly determined by the social and economic conditions in which we live.  Being closer than Whitehall to the communities they serve, local authorities have the remit to act on the wider determinants of health and are more readily able to assess where intervention and investment are likely to deliver greater impact.

Local government should, therefore, be put at the centre of driving forward the strategy to improve and level up health (and so level up the economy). But how could this best work in practice? This webinar will unpick and explore this question.
