Basket of indicators
Local basket of inequalities indicators
The LHO were commissioned by the Department of Health to develop a local basket of inequalities indicators. The local basket of
health inequalities indicators was released in October 2003, following the launch of Tackling Health Inequalities: Programme for
Action in July 2003. The local basket of health inequalities indicators contains an initial set of 70 indicators. It contains
measures of health status or health outcomes, measures of the determinants of health, measures of access to services and process
measures.
The main purpose of the local basket of indicators is to help support local action to achieve the Government's national
inequalities targets for life expectancy and infant mortality, by highlighting information relevant to addressing the targets and
assisting local areas with monitoring progress towards reducing health inequalities. It is envisaged that local areas will choose
which indicators to use and monitor over time based on locally agreed priorities. The most appropriate indicators for tracking local
action should be chosen. The indicators in the basket are not mandatory, and local areas will wish to supplement indicators selected
from the basket with additional locally available and relevant indicators, including those published in other indicators sets.
The LHO is undergoing a review of the indicators included in the local basket and integration with health profile indicators forms part of this review.
The reports below outline the content and the purpose of the local basket of health inequalities indicators.
