A new report from the Health Foundation makes the crucial point: we need to stop seeing ill-health as a cost & start understanding good health as an economic asset...
It concludes that 'improving health would strengthen growth, expand the tax base, reduce fiscal pressures & raise living standards'!
If our political class cannot understand the humanistic arguments around public health we need to emphasise the economic value of a healthy population!
