West Midlands Data
Organisations across the West Midlands have pledged to take more than 50 actions to help put an end to health inequalities in the region.
A recent report by the West Midlands Combined Authority in conjunction with public health officials, entitled ‘Health of the Region 2020: The regional health impact of Covid-19 on the West Midlands’, found there were entrenched health inequalities in the region, that had been both exposed and exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Findings from the report include:
• People living in the WMCA region have a shorter life expectancy than England overall, and spend more of their lives in poor health.
• The rate of premature deaths from preventable causes (such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, liver disease and respiratory disease) is higher than the national average, as is the rate of infant mortality. It is believed these correspond to higher rates of problem drinking, obesity (child and adult) and physical inactivity, as well as lower cancer screening.
• Most areas in the WMCA region have a greater level of socioeconomic deprivation than the national average, with approximately a quarter of children living in low income households. The report concluded that health inequality is linked to wealth inequality.
• The highest rates of COVID-19 related deaths have come in more deprived areas, and neighbourhoods with a greater proportion of residents from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities. A recent PHE report found that those in BAME groups were up to twice as likely to die from Covid-19 than those from the White British ethnic group.
• WMCA to provide training and support to health care professionals so they can refer disabled residents to physical activity as part of the IncludeMe initiative.
• WMCA to work with partners to become a Marmot City-Region and develop a three year action plan to reduce health inequalities.
