5.0 Gender and Health – Inequalities

5.1
NHS Lanarkshire has undertaken an assessment of available national and local information in relation to gender and health inequalities. In particular, useful information from the Board’s Director of Public Health’s Annual Reports has been utilised and demonstrates that clear health inequality and equity differences exist between males and females.

5.2
Examples of the gender health inequality and equity differentials are set out in some detail in the GES and the Board’s intentions in terms of plans to address these are built into the Action Plan.
