  3. Background • Increasing recognition that deprivation is associated with higher burden of disease, poorer uptake and worse outcomes • NHS Tayside commissioned an Inequalities Strategy in 2003

  4. Strategic Framework Tackling the underlying causes of inequalities Targeted health improvement Improved access to health services

  5. Priorities for Action

  6. Resource allocation • Any new ring-fenced funding to take account of the direct relationship between health status and outcome • £1.7m invested in improving access in 10% worst deprived areas • Continue all other investment based on Arbuthnott

  7. How are we doing? Health intelligence underpins and influences decisions Targeted health improvement Some shifts in investment Improving access to health services Healthcare Academy and workforce planning Disseminating the learning

  8. Challenge The Challenge Those who most need medical care are least likely to get it whilst those with least need tend to use health services more Top priority Radical measures Early years and families
