Context

What discussions have you had with the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Secretary of State for Health and Social Care on tackling health inequalities through the levelling-up fund?
The £4.8 billion levelling-up fund will invest in infrastructure that improves everyday life in our country. It is a core part of our levelling-up agenda, and I regularly speak to my ministerial colleagues about the fund. These discussions will inform our levelling-up White Paper, which we intend to publish later this year.
