Background to the London Health Commission:
An independent inquiry, chaired by Ara Darzi and reporting
directly to the Mayor of London.
Examining how London’s health and wellbeing, healthcare
and the health economy can be improved for the benefit of
the population.
Underpinned by engagement with the public, local
government, the NHS, business, the voluntary and community
sector, and others.
Final report to be produced in Autumn 2014 which describes the
future vision for health and wellbeing in London and makes
recommendations for the Mayor, NHS and other
stakeholders.

There have been many London reviews – so we need to reflect on how this
Commission can make an impact:
Increasingly cities are the
innovators of health
improvement
Use the voice of an independent
Commission to engage patients,
the public and London
When London acts, it has
national and international
resonance
Leverage the Mayor’s position
and powers

Reflecting what we’ve heard so far, five principles are influencing how the
Commission is working:
1.
Connect and engage
with Londoners
2.
Use London’s
strengths to address
its challenges
3.
Understand past
successes and failures
4.
Take a global view
5.
Build a coalition for
change

A number of issues are emerging from our Call for Evidence and work so far:
Health and Wellbeing
Integrated care
Self-care
What can London do to
take a step change on
health and wellbeing?
What can the
Commission do at a
pan-London level to
facilitate integration of
health and social care,
at scale and pace?
How can the
Commission support
individuals and
communities to engage
more in their own
health and care?
Information and
Technology
What can be done in
London to accelerate
the Information and
Technology agenda?
Applying Innovation
How can we work to
get take-up of the right
approaches in public
health and healthcare ?
