Well, nuance is always required. But, at least on my reading, the report sort of implies that the material and health conditions of the worse off are as bad, or even worse, than they were in the Great Depression. That, I am happy to say, is utter nonsense. Prevailing health inequality may well be problematic (and I think it is), but let's not get too carried away with ourselves. ________________________________ From: The Health Equity Network (HEN) [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jonathan Mathers Sent: 23 July 2010 12:40 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Health Inequality What nuance is required? ________________________________ From: The Health Equity Network (HEN) [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Adam Oliver Sent: 23 July 2010 12:32 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Health Inequality This, from the BBC and the BMJ, might interest members.
