Acheson Report
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Acheson Report, fully titled the Independent Inquiry into Inequalities in Health Report, was a report published in 1998 by a United Kingdom inquiry headed by Donald Acheson.[1]
The inquiry came to a similar conclusion as the Black Report, published in 1980, that there were health inequalities in the United Kingdom and that poverty was a significant determinant of health.[2] It largely influenced the 1998 government green paper Our Healthier Nation: A Contract for Health which had a stated aim of reducing health inequalities; [3] and the 1999 white paper Saving Lives: Our Healthier Nation.
