About the Book

This best-selling report presents critical new evidence on the size of the health gap, and the extent to which the gap is widening. In particular, new geographical data are presented and displayed in striking graphical form. The widening gap should be read alongside "Inequalities in Health: The Evidence" presented to the Independent Inquiry into Inequalities in Health, chaired by Sir Donald Acheson (The Policy Press, 1999).

Table of Contents:
Introduction; The health gap; Explaining the gap; Narrowing the gap - the policy debate.

About the Author :
Danny Dorling is the Halford Mackinder Professor of Geography at Oxford University and author of many books including Injustice: Why social inequalities persist (Policy Press, 2015) and, with others, The Social Atlas of Europe (2014). He is Honorary President of the Society of Cartographers and a patron of Roadpeace, the national charity for road crash victims.

Review :
"When Tony Blair tours the North to show the wide variations within regions as well as between them, and when Alan Milburn declares commitment to tackling inequalites in heart disease as part of making a fairer society generally, then you know something has touched a chord. It is rare for an academic work to have such an effect on media and ministers, but the Widening Gap has done just this." John Nicholson, Chief Executive, UK Public Health Association "... a challenge and a lesson for all who are working to reduce inequalities in health." BMJ "... a brilliant book. ... provides a marvellous template for similar efforts to investigate the worst and best-health million in other countries around the world." International Journal of Epidemiology "The book draws together evidence on social inequalities in health ... there is much in this book to be commended ... it will be widely read and quoted ... The book gives well-deserved attention to ... often overlooked issues." The Lancet "The study was the most comprehensive examination of the geographic distribution of health and life chances in the UK since the Black report and its findings are stark." SPS research. "... their analysis of the potential impact of current government policies on inequalities in health is enlightening." BMJ "It makes an excellent contribution to our understanding of health inequality in Britain and provides a useful contibution to the policy debate." Cambridge University Press
