The 'Sick man of Europe' describes countries with severe economic turmoil or social unrest. #Britain today, it's a literal reality

We lag our peers on

- Health outcomes
- Number with a long-term condition rising
- People are longer in poor health
- Health is worsening throughout one's life

All bring huge challenges for children, adolescents, working-age adults, & retired

UK's health problems have reached historic proportions
