This document contains guidance for Local Authorities, particularly those authorities within or near the bottom fifth for life expectancy, who wish to adopt an LPSA target on health inequalities.

The guidance includes local authority rankings for life expectancy and examples of LPSA health inequalities targets that have already been agreed.

This guidance should be held in conjunction with the new Health and Social Care Priorities and Planning Framework (PPF) as LPSAs provide a key tool for reflecting joint activity between NHS organisations and local authorities.
