The goal of the Brent Health Matters Programme is to reduce health inequalities in Brent.
Health inequalities are avoidable, unfair and systematic differences in health between different groups of people.
Inequality means that the resources required to create better health outcomes are not evenly distributed.
Because of this the areas with poorer health outcomes or higher rates of long-term health conditions will have more focus than other parts of the borough.
"Our health is shaped by a complex interaction between many factors. These include the quality of health and care services, individual behaviours, the places and communities in which people live and wider determinants such as education, housing and access to green space. Health inequalities arise as a result of systematic variations in these factors across a population."
