Description This data companion pack is a resource intended to frame and be read alongside the linked Evidence Review: Housing and Health Inequalities in London (available on the Institute of Health Equity website) . The resource provides intelligence and context on the housing and health inequalities in London only, while the accompanying rapid review of evidence for interventions contains the recommendations for action. This pack is intended to provide a high-level overview of the best available data on housing in London and the key housing-related health inequalities issues faced by Londoners, in correlation with the IHE Evidence Review: Housing and Health Inequalities in London. This pack identifies how certain groups in the population are at greatest risk of housing-related health inequalities, as well as noting gaps in available data for particularly excluded groups. The pack provides a platform for partnership work on housing-related health inequalities across London, including providing an overview of key issues, and identifying key gaps in intelligence that would help improve understanding of housing-related inequalities across the capital. Audience It will be useful for health leaders, analysts, officers, and policy makers from local and regional government, integrated care systems, and more, to address housing-related health inequalities by - Advocating for the need for action to address housing inequalities, given impacts on health and health inequalities Framing the context for the interventions highlighted in the linked rapid review of interventions Engaging communities Development of this resource The Institute of Health Equity (IHE), Greater London Authority (GLA) Health, GLA City Intelligence Unit, Office for Health Improvement and Disparities London (OHID), Association of Directors of Public Health London (ADPH), and NHSE have collaboratively produced this report, as part of the Building the Evidence (BTE) programme of work The sources of data available and topics included have been identified from existing published data, working in partnership through iterative discussion The resource is provided in PDF and PowerPoint format to support colleagues in their work to There is no current plan for periodic updates of this resource, though this will be discussed on completion of this programme of work Other useful resources: The Integrated Care Systems (ICS) Housing Profile is a resource that aims to support people working in ICSs and ICBs to understand, and work jointly with partners to mitigate and tackle the key housing-related issues that drive poor health in London.

Description and Purpose This data companion pack is a resource intended to frame and be read alongside the linked rapid review of evidence for interventions to address the cost of living crisis (available on the Institute of Health Equity website) . The resource provides intelligence and context on the cost of living crisis in London only, while the accompanying rapid review of evidence for interventions to mitigate the impacts of the rising cost of living on London, contains the recommendations for action. This pack is intended to provide a high-level overview of the impacts of the costs of living crisis on London and the need Londoners have for support to deal with the cost of living crisis through intelligence available in the public domain. This pack identifies how certain groups in the population already experiencing health inequalities are at greatest risk of poverty and worsening health due to the cost of living crisis. Given there are significant gaps in intelligence available, this pack also highlights these gaps and limitations in our understanding. Audience It will be useful for health leaders, analysts, officers, and policy makers from local and regional government, integrated care systems, NHS, academia, VCS organisations and partners across London to support their work to address the costs of living crisis by Advocating for the need for action to address the rising cost of living given impacts on health and health inequalities Framing the context for the interventions highlighted in the linked rapid review of interventions Engaging communities Development of this resource The Institute of Health Equity (IHE), Greater London Authority (GLA) Health, GLA City Intelligence Unit, Office for Health Improvement and Disparities London (OHID), Association of Directors of Public Health London (ADPH), and NHSE have collaboratively produced this report, as part of the Building the Evidence (BTE) programme of work The sources of data available and topics included have been identified from existing published data, working in partnership through iterative discussion The resource is provided in PDF and PowerPoint format to support colleagues in their work to There is no current plan for periodic updates of this resource, though this will be discussed on completion of this programme of work

While London tends to have better health outcomes than the rest of the UK, stark ethnic and socioeconomic inequalities remain. The Snapshot of Health Inequalities in London provides a high-level overview of major inequalities issues affecting Londoners with thematic packs on climate, children and young people, and the cost of living. This is a resource intended to inform health and non-health specialists. It will inform action on health inequalities across all strategies, policies and programmes, supporting a health in all policies approach. Webinar ‘Exploring the London Snapshot of Health Inequalities’ webinar presents the key findings followed by a panel discussion, covering five priority areas: Child health equity Cardiovascular health Mental health Poverty and economy Climate and environment Watch the webinar here. Development of the resource Greater London Authority (GLA) Health, GLA City Intelligence Unit, Office for Health Improvement and Disparities London (OHID), Association of Directors of Public Health London (ADPH), NHSE and Institute of Health Equity (IHE) have collaboratively produced this report. The snapshot brings together published data. The topics and themes have been identified with partners through iterative discussion. Originally published in 2022, this updated and expanded version was published in July 2024.

The Integrated Care Systems Housing Profile (ICS Housing Profile) is a resource that aims to support people working in ICSs and ICBs to understand, and work jointly with partners to mitigate and tackle the key housing-related issues that drive poor health in London. The ICS Housing Profile presents key housing data for London at sub-regional ICS geography and borough level. The data is presented across the three narrative themes of housing quality, security, and affordability. Whilst those working in ICSs and ICBs will be aware of the broad impacts of housing on health, we hope this resource will help colleagues to better understand the specific housing issues that are driving health inequalities and healthcare usage, in the area they’re working in. For those looking to delve deeper into the data, the accompanying workbooks can be used to find more information on housing trends over time, different geographical breakdowns and alternative metrics. Development of the resource This resource has been produced collaboratively by the Greater London Authority Group Public Health Unit and the City Intelligence Unit. The data included in this report is the most recent available at the time the report was written. The resource is provided in PDF and PowerPoint format to support colleagues in their work. There is no current plan for periodic updates of this resource. The resource includes: ICS Housing Profile (in PDF or PowerPoint format) Housing Profile Data Summary (workbook 1) – this includes more data to explore beyond the figures set out in the profile Housing Profile Figures (workbook 2) – this includes data behind the figures only Other useful resources: The Housing and Health page provides intelligence and context on the housing and health inequalities in London. The Cost of Poor Housing page estimates the annual cost to the NHS of homes in poor condition in London.

The draft London Health Inequalities Strategy This document outlines the main issues that lead to inequalities in the health of different groups of Londoners, and a set of aims for reducing them. It outlines the Mayor’s role, but also how other organisations working in health in London can work together to ensure that all Londoners can benefit from a healthy lifestyle. The draft strategy was published on the London.gov.uk website on 23 August 2017 for a 14-week public consultation (closing 30 November 2017). The Report to the Mayor provides a high-level summary and analysis of the issues raised during the consultation of the draft strategy, from both technical stakeholders and members of the public. This allowed the Mayor to have proper regard to the consultation responses when deciding whether to approve the final version of the strategy. The public responded to the consultation via Talk London online discussion threads and surveys; and via representative polling. The Talk London datasets and emailed responses were analysed by policy area, and compared against insights from the representative polling. This allowed the team to identify any similarities or differences between the views of the general population and the views of the Talk London community. All datasets on a policy area were brought together in a single thematic summary report, which aimed to show where the balance of opinion lay, as well as highlight areas of disagreement or debate. These reports are provided below, alongside the more detailed qualitative and quantitative research findings and data tables.
