Local Basket of Health Inequalities Indicators

The local basket of health inequalities indicators was released in October 2003, following the launch of Tackling Health Inequalities: Programme for Action in July 2003. The initial set of 70 indicators contains measures of health status or health outcomes, measures of the determinants of health, measures of access to services and process measures.  The full report on the local basket of indicators presents the indicator list and describes how they indicators were chosen. The report and data for the local basket of indicators are available from the London Health Observatory website at : http://www.lho.org.uk/Health_Inequalities/BasketOfIndicators/BasketData.htm.
