THE 9 LEGAL PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
EDUCATION & RARE DISEASES (EHCP)
The UK Strategy aims to ensure no one gets left behind just because they have a rare disease. We want to put the patients’ needs first. To do this, we will bring together the talent, skills and professionalism of all relevant sectors. This will bring real, positive change in how we deal with rare diseases and how we help people with complex conditions.

Ten years since the publication of The Marmot Review, for the first time in more than 100 years life expectancy has failed to increase across the country, and for the poorest 10% of women it has actually declined. Over the last decade health inequalities have widened overall, and the amount of time people spend in poor health has increased since 2010.
