Reviews

It is very welcome to see a book on the key role that local authorities play, and can play, in addressing and mitigating some of the social determinants of health... Chapters feature contributions from a multidisciplinary array of academics, practitioners and policymakers from across health, social care, law, housing, children and young people, and the public, private and voluntary sectors - a key strength of the book. International Journal of Care and Caring
