1/11. Happy new year! Brief thread on some key reports/orgs/people linking #health & #economy & #levellingup. Purveyors of these two ends of the telescope increasingly realising the issues are the same, & cannot be divorced in policy terms. A shout out from me. 




2/11. First @HealthFdn @JoBibbyTHF @tim_esPH and colleagues, whose #HealthyLivesStrategy has done so much over the last few years to make the case for health as an economic issue e.g. https://www.health.org.uk/publications/healthy-lives-for-people-in-the-uk
3/11 Second, @IPPR @Dhochlaf @harry_qp and colleagues who focus on the #economics and #health of #place and why so important to #levellingup e.g. https://www.ippr.org/research/publications/levelling-up-health-for-prosperity
4/11. Third, @CentreProPolicy @calldritt @bjafranklin relatively new with an #inclusivegrowth lens. Doing some great, innovative work including the link to #health e.g. https://www.progressive-policy.net/publications/event-summary-beyond-the-nhs
5/11. Fourth, @TheIFS for their tracking of #covid, #health and #inequality, including supporting the #DeatonReview which seeks to tackle inequality in the round https://www.ifs.org.uk/inequality/the-ifs-deaton-review-of-inequalities-a-new-years-message/
6/11. Fifth, @CLESthinkdo @nmcinroy @tomlloydgoodwin and their consistent work on the economics of place and the role of #anchorinstitutions, and now working more closely with #health-related organisations e.g. https://cles.org.uk/tag/health/
7/11. Sixth, @jrf_uk @Helen_Barnard and their commitment to poverty reduction, including seeing the link to #health. Was pleased to be able to do this with their support in 2014 (more coming) on #poverty and #NHS https://www.kingsfund.org.uk/publications/articles/tackling-poverty
8/11. Seventh, and ones to watch, @Policy_Exchange @rcsloggett, good to see a centre-right perspective on public health, the #economy and how to hard-wire #prevention into government policy e.g. https://policyexchange.org.uk/publication/saving-a-lost-decade/
9/11. Eighth, how @wearenewlocal @ProfDonnaHall have developed the case for #local and #community #power, and made the connection to stronger #health and economies e.g. https://www.newlocal.org.uk/publications/the-community-paradigm-why-public-services-need-radical-change-and-how-it-can-be-achieved/
10/11. Ninth, @APPGLongevity @Geoff_Filkin @TinaWoods and its work on meeting the govt's own 5 extra years of healthy life expectancy target. National-local policy, place, inequality, NHS, business and wider govt all have roles e.g. https://appg-longevity.org/
11/11. Finally, 'traditional' health orgs, e.g. @NHSConfed @marmotihe @ShelfordGrp @NHSEngland @LGAWellbeing also doing great work, but it is significant that i) health/economy now in lockstep ii) its not just NHS & iii) wider thinkers/sectors are bringing new insight/influence.
