It is time to put a stop to health inequalities
Article Abstract:
The UK government is striving hard to eliminate health inequalities in numerous white papers. It is believed that health inequalities will continue, not only because of access to the private sector and the lack of cohesion with the service itself, but also because of the business approach to the National Health Service (NHS) taken by successive governments.
