Address the continuing disparities in health and social care for disabled people 

“Health equity for persons with disabilities will only be achieved if disability-inclusive strategies are integrated into mainstream health actions”

A crucial part of inclusive wellbeing is health equity; which involves ensuring that all individuals have fair and just access to health resources and opportunities. This requires integrated, disability-inclusive strategies embedded within mainstream health initiatives. Whilst the NHS has strategies and policies to address this, for example with the introduction of integrated care systems, the key is ensuring equitable implementation for disabled people nationwide. Whilst improvements have been made, there are inequities depending on where you live, but ICSs provide an opportunity to ensure that healthcare services for disabled individuals are streamlined, reducing fragmentation and improving access to comprehensive care.
