This report provides an outline of new evidence on health inequalities in the European Union (EU) and the policy response at EU and national level to health inequalities since 2009. The report confirms significant health inequalities between and within EU Member States. The size of the health inequalities is for the most part similar to that identified in ‘Health inequalities: Europe in profile’, published in 2006. Within this broad picture some indicators of inequality have decreased, some have remained constant and others have increased.
