Working with government and NHS England to create healthier working lives

Responding to the government announcement on funding for Health and Growth Accelerators, Matthew Taylor, interim chief executive of the NHS Confederation and NHS Providers, said:

“It’s fantastic that there’s been a funding boost of £25 million for Health and Growth Accelerators. These three ICBs are taking bold, innovative action to improve health and employment outcomes in areas with some of the highest levels of economic inactivity – places where too many people are being locked out of living healthy, fulfilling lives.

“To mark this news, we are bringing together local and national leaders today in Leeds at our Creating Healthier Working Lives event. The joint event with the government will share, spread and scale the excellent work from across the country on reducing and preventing economic inactivity.”
