Purpose
To provide background information on the relationship between economic development and health inequalities; why an inclusive economy, community wealth building, and progressive procurement are important for maximising health and wellbeing and reducing inequalities; and how national and regional economic growth strategies align with this focus.
This section will support users to include health and equity impacts when developing a project's case for investment. Readers can use this information to write cases for investment which embed a focus on health, wellbeing and equity by integrating the principles of an inclusive economy into projects. The information included is useful at all key design stages (design, build, operate) as the relationship between economic development and health and equity is important to consider at each stage.
