In this week’s spotlight issue, Mason Boycott-Owen speaks to experts about how Barnsley South’s health problem came about, and how it can be solved, following analysis which suggests it has the sickest population in Yorkshire.
The next government should adopt New Labour’s approach to health inequalities, experts have suggested following a decade of decline following austerity. During Tony Blair’s first term the party implemented its healthy inequalities strategy which made sure that government departments had to look at the impact of its policies on the avoidable differences across the country in how healthy people are and how long they live.
Now, when councils are arguably more cash-strapped than during austerity, the loss of these policies, as well as the increase in loneliness from the closure of spaces such as libraries and community centres, are set to keep places like Barnsley unwell as they have been for decades. This was also made worse by Covid, with areas like this in South Yorkshire more likely to be left with the “scarring effect” of a pandemic for longer, says Dr Munford.
