| London Health Strategy |
|
The Commission was created from a partnership of organisations that first came together in May 1999 to develop the London Health Strategy. The aim of the London Health Strategy was to support work to improve health and reduce health inequalities at local and national levels, by focusing on London-wide activities that could reinforce and boost initiatives in London. The Strategy paid particular attention to diversity and health inequalities, both between different groups of people and between different parts of London. Importantly, the London Health Strategy did not aim to cover every health issue or area of need in London, most of which are better addressed in individual localities and communities through a range of health and other services. Instead the strategy focussed on key areas that were agreed, following extensive consultation, as offering the greatest potential to support efforts across all levels of activity in the capital. How was the Strategy developed? The London Health Strategy was published in March 2000 following wide-ranging consultation during 1999. This involved over 1,500 people from more than 300 organisations. Its development was initially overseen by a multi-sectoral steering group, which eventually formed a coalition for health and regeneration. Information on the evidence feeding in to the development of the strategy is available from our Publications page. Following consultation across London, the following headline priorities were initially agreed by the London Health Strategy steering group, and later adopted by the London Health Commission:
In addition to these priorities, four supporting priorities were agreed: health impact assessment, community involvement and engagement, developing the new London Health Observatory and communicating the London's Health work.
