Europe's increasingly unequal health outcomes

Increasingly evidence suggests that in many parts of Europe, the difference in health outcomes between socio-economic groups is increasing whilst the link between status and health outcome is becoming stronger. Additionally, the gap between member states is increasing. This is troubling news not just to health care professionals, but to governments and wider civil society as well- even more so when we consider that many poor health outcomes are avoidable by reasonable means.
