Health Boost Could Add 72 Billion to UK Economy | UK News
Description
A new report reveals that restoring UK health to 2014 levels could add £72 billion to GDP—proof that good health isn’t just personal, it’s pure economic gold. The Health Foundation argues healthy people drive productivity, stay in work longer, and reduce strain on public services. Yet since 2022, healthy life expectancy has dropped by two years, and 4 million more working-age Brits now live with long-term conditions. Fixing this isn’t just about the NHS—it’s about prevention, public health, and building a stronger, more resilient economy, one healthy citizen at a time.
