Puts the Acheson inquiry into its political context and describes the changes in government policy and philosophy underlying attitudes to health inequalities. Compares the Acheson inquiry with the Black report in terms of the language used. An interesting comparison.

X Abstract

The Acheson Report was published 18 years after the Black Report, but both show similarities. The Acheson Report provides a contrast to the Black Report as it illustrates the difficulties of tackling health inequalities despite apparently favourable conditions. This contribution traces the background to the Acheson Report, the deliberations of the inquiry team, its reception and critiques; it also provides a summary of policy initiatives to tackle health inequalities and concludes by drawing on policy models to assess the likelihood of longer-term change as a result of the report and government policy.
