In the third and final blog of our three-part series, we explore how central digital and data are to the ambitions of the 10 Year Health Plan for England — and what that means for health inequalities.

In this resource, we explore structural inequalities in primary care at the ICB level in the East of England. We provide data on NHS payments to GP surgeries, payments per weighted patient and patient satisfaction, showing differences across socioeconomic groups.
The factors determining the quality and quantity of primary care services vary across England. Here we analyse practice level data relating to the supply, demand, and need for primary care, according to the socioeconomic status of the patients served.
This interactive toolkit brings together two research studies, EQUALISE and FAIRSTEPS, to describe what equitable primary care looks like and provide practical steps to help local decision makers address inequalities in health and healthcare.
This article, published in The Lancet Public Health, provides findings from a Realist Review of interventions that influence health and care inequalities in general practice.
