Acheson Report

Acheson Report

The Acheson Report, fully titled the Independent Inquiry into Inequalities in Health Report, was a report published in 1998 by a United Kingdom inquiry headed by Donald Acheson. [Graham, H., "Understanding Health Inequalities", (2000), Open University Press]

The inquiry came to a similar conclusion as the Black Report, published in 1980, that there were health inequalities in the United Kingdom and that poverty was a significant determinant of health.Black & al, "Inequalities in Health", (1990), Penguin] It largely influenced the 1998 government green paper ' which had a stated aim of reducing health inequalities; The Stationary Office, "Our Healthier Nation", (1998)] and the 1999 white paper '.
