Proceeding contribution from Lord Blunkett (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 8 June 2020. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Health England Review: Covid-19 Disparities.


Public Health England Review: Covid-19 Disparities

My Lords, it is very clear that we all agree that gross inequality and major deprivation are the underlying causes of the disparity. That must be dealt with societally in the long term. In the short term, does the Minister agree that we probably need targeted health campaigns, not blaming individuals but trying to at least do something in the short term about this division? That can be achieved not by daily press conferences but by very targeted help.
