▤ Verbatim text from source document
The document sets out the government’s vision for:
- stopping health problems from arising in the first place
- supporting people to manage their health problems when they do arise
The goal is to improve healthy life expectancy by at least 5 extra years, by 2035, and to close the gap between the richest and poorest.
A collection of case studies has been published, showing examples of good practice in preventing health problems from happening.
