*Summary*

“……Reducing health inequalities is an important part of health policy in
most countries. This paper discusses from an economic perspective how
government policy can influence health inequalities, particularly focusing
on the outcome of performance targets in England, and the role of sectors of
the economy outside the health service – the ‘social determinants’ of health
- in delivering these targets.
