Abstract

Despite numerous government reports and strategies for reducing inequalities in child health, there is no evidence of reduction except perhaps in infant mortality rates. The paper by Hargreaves et al 1 suggests that gaps are widening in some important child health outcomes. If we accept that inequalities due to social circumstances, referred to here as inequities, are unjust and avoidable, as Sir Michael Marmot2 (among many others) maintains, then Hargreaves et al's findings should prompt a rethink of the strategic approaches to this important public health problem.
