Poverty Aware Practice
Poverty Aware Practice
Our staff at Birkby Health Centre are aware that people in poverty are more likely to be in ‘less than good’ health (fair, bad or very bad) than people who are not in poverty at all ages. The difference in the share of people who report their health as less than good is largest for people aged 35 to 64 years. – At each age, people in poverty are more likely to report poor health.
