A health service on life support - is poverty the real disease?

BBC Radio Ulster - Sunday Sequence, A health service on life support - is poverty the real disease?

Are social inequalities and the crisis in the health service inextricably linked? 

Is lifestyle, environment and income the critical factors to be tackled in solving some of the biggest issues facing the health service? 

It's now seven years since the Bengoa Report highlighted the need for a holistic approach to health care and identified social inequalities as a major factor in the ever increasing demands on the NHS. What, if any, improvements have been introduced since then? Or has the situation worsened amidst a cost of living crisis? Presenter Audrey Carville in conversation with Professor Deirdre Heenan, retired GP Dr George O'Neill and former Presbyterian Moderator Dr Norman Hamilton.
