Amongst other goals, the strategy has committed to reducing childhood health inequalities on areas such as access to care and information on nutrition.<\/p>\n
It also aimed to target “high-risk populations with tailored interventions that address substance misuse and gambling”, and “embed preventative approaches” throughout life to “reduce the impact of frailty, chronic conditions and social isolation”.<\/p>\n
The document said healthcare services only accounted for about 20% of an individual’s health “outcomes”, with the remaining 80% determined by social, economic, and environmental factors.<\/p>\n
Dr Tyrer said the statistic “really showed the opportunity that we’ve got through long-term approaches to prevention to not only improve peoples lives on a whole range of issues but to reduce their need for health services”.<\/p>\n
An “additional benefit” would be reduced future pressures on health and care services, such as fewer visits to their GP or the hospital “because they’re more in control of their own health and well-being”, he said.<\/p>\n
“By getting the basics right and putting the right measures in place, we can help people live healthier, happier, and more independent lives for longer,” he added.<\/p>\n
