HC Deb 09 November 1992 vol 213 c561W
Ms. Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what progress has been made, and what specific measures have been taken to reach the World Health Organisation's target of a 25 per cent. reduction in health inequalities by the year 2000.

Dr. Mawhinney

The "Health of the Nation" Green Paper—Cm. 1523, appendix 1—reviewed progress towards the World Health Organisation "Health for All" targets. As illustrated in the subsequent White Paper— Cm. 1986—the Government have taken and are taking a wide variety of measures to continue the improvements in health that have been achieved across the board, and particularly to focus on people at greater risk.
