Health & Wellbeing: Public Sector Levelling Up

The UK has larger geographical differences than many other developed countries on multiple measures, including productivity, pay, educational attainment and health.

Good health is just as important in spreading opportunity, contributing not only to the economy but also ensuring that everyone, wherever they live, can enjoy fulfilling, happy and productive lives.

Strong public services not only support positive health and educational outcomes but also attract new talent and investment to an area, boosting local economies.

By 2030, the gap in Healthy Life Expectancy (HLE) between local areas where it is highest and lowest will have narrowed, and by 2035 HLE will rise by five years. By 2030, well-being will have improved in every area of the UK, with the gap between top performing and other areas closing.

On 17 November we’re joined by public sector leaders and innovators to explore the key challenges that levelling up brings.

Gain insight into what public sector leaders need to navigate the plan while prioritising communities and how to shift regional inequalities to support people and places.
