Abstract
  • Anna Coote is the Director of the Public Health Programme at the King's Fund.
  • This is a summary of the report of the same name. The NHS is more than a provider of health services. It is the largest single organisation in the UK. Its potential impact on health, the environment, and the social and economic fabric of our lives is vast. Claiming the health dividend investigates this potential in eight key areas: employment, purchasing policy, procurement of child care services and food, management of waste, travel and energy, and commissioning new buildings. In each case the report explores the influence of NHS activities on health and sustainable development. It examines current policy and practice, and considers how the NHS can make better use of its resources to help reduce health inequalities, build stronger local economies, safeguard the environment for the benefit of whole communities, and ensure its own long-term viability.
