The Equality and Health Inequalities Impact Assessment (EHIA) explains how NHS England has considered and addressed these ‘equality duties’ in developing the NHS Long Term Plan. This EHIA has assisted, and will assist, decision-makers to make informed decisions about the NHS Long Term Plan and these legal obligations.

Summary

This annex to the main EHIA assesses each chapter of the NHS Long Term Plan. It draws on the plan’s proposals where they provide evidence of meeting either the Public Sector Equality Duty or the duties on reducing health inequalities.
