Promoting healthier communities and narrowing health inequalities is one of the priorities for local public service delivery shared by central and local government. This and the other shared priorities - on improving the quality of life for older people; safer and stronger communities; children and young people; and sustainable communities and transport - will be embedded in comprehensive performance assessment from 2005. The shared priorities will also underpin the development of local area agreements, a new approach to improving coordination between central and local government and its partners, to be piloted in 2005/06. The Shared Priority Project, sponsored by the Local Government Association and the Department of Health, brings together 12 lead authorities with the aim of generating learning that will enable all councils to work with their primary care trusts (PCTs) and regional partners to promote healthier communities and reduce health inequalities.
