An independent, evidence-led review of London's health infrastructure
The London Health Infrastructure Review continues the mission of the London Health Commission's Better Health for London — examining the equipment and systems that deliver care across the capital. We are non-partisan, plainly sourced, and deliberately narrow in scope.
Who we are, and what we do
In 2014 the London Health Commission — an independent inquiry established by the Mayor of London and chaired by Professor Lord Ara Darzi — published Better Health for London, the most comprehensive review of the capital's health of its era. This Review is its civic continuation: a standing, equipment-literate resource on the infrastructure that turns that agenda into care.
We hold to one discipline above all — honesty about our authority. We treat Better Health for London as a genuine, Mayor-backed legacy of civic public-health authority, and we keep strictly within its true subject area: London-wide public-health strategy and the infrastructure that delivers care at city scale. We do not claim more than the public record supports.
Our remit
The Review keeps to the areas where a city's own decisions most shape its health.
Care infrastructure
Primary, urgent, prevention and community care — the four settings where equipment most directly decides outcomes.
Health inequalities
The gap in outcomes between London's richest and poorest boroughs — and where capacity and kit can close it.
Prevention & population health
The monitoring and screening technology behind the Better Health for London prevention agenda.
Care closer to home
The remote-monitoring and community backbone of integrating health and social care.
Access across 32 boroughs
Mobile and outreach services that reach the communities the static system serves least well.
Non-partisan analysis
Independent, sourced commentary — free of commercial interest or political alignment.
We continue a Mayor-backed, clinically-led legacy — but we earn trust the same way the original Commission did: with evidence, in plain language, and never by overclaiming.
