National Health Services has reportedly wasted around £21 billion to reduce the inequality in life expectancy between rich and poor people.

People’s health in England has enhanced as Labor injected billions into the NHS, while the health of rich people has improved much faster as compared to those living in deprived areas.

Instead of reducing inequalities between rich and poor, the life expectancy gap has increased.

NHS costs in England increased from £40 billion between 1999 and 2000 to £98 billion between 2009 and 2010.

It was recently revealed that life expectancy was positive, and premature death rates were also declining.

The report revealed that issues, including teenage pregnancy, “have proved challenging, despite some progress”.

A Government aim to lessen teenage conception by 50% by 2010 has also not succeeded. While in some areas, the rate has dropped by almost 13%, in other regions, it has climbed by 50%.

“We know the health of the nation is improving. But variation in the health of people living in different parts of the country remains stark”, said Andy McKeon, the Commission's Managing Director for health.
