responsibilities and activities (Arcila and et. al., 2011). Many of the organisations are working in
this sector to manage the health of people and to provide remedies on the disease. Health
promotions is a responsibility of the government and as well as huge structured organisations.

report and at the last it is having health promotion campaign to support government to attain their
objectives in health and social care.
TASK 1
1.1 Explanation of the effects of socio-economic factors on Peter and Sarah’s health
Peter and Sarah have a really social life this is analysed by their drinking and smoking
habits. And their children too do not stay with them. They have 6 children this is because Peter
do not believe in family planning. Both of them are suffering from one or many disease which is
a sign that they are not concerned about their health. Here the socio-economic factors which
influence them are -
 CULTURE: Due to the culture in the family of Peter they didn't have done family
planning which is resulting in their health issues. Being healthy is concerned with the
proper planning of the diet and living. So this lacks in the lifestyle of Peter and Sarah.
 FACILITIES: The country provides health and care due to which they have a lenient
attitude towards working (Tracy and et. al., 2013). Sometimes the facilities are a threat to
country as well because the people become less active and they think that they will get
the facilities whether they work or not.
 CHILDREN: Having so many children is a issue for both of them. They have 6 children
which is a major issue for their health because having a baby is disturbing all your body

and body need to recover that time of pain for a time to be normal if this do not happen
than it can result in health issues.
 HABITS: Drinking and smoking are not good habits because if you are not well than you
need to take care of your body which PETER and SARAH are not keen about.
Influenced by some habits like smoking and drinking is also not good for their health.
 CARE: They are careless about their health and they do not care about being fit or well
(Tosolini and et. al., 2011). Body demands care and day to day maintenance which lack
in Peter and Sarah's life.
1.2 Assessment of the relevance of government resources on inequalities in health
Health inequalities are the determinants that shows the distribution of health aids in the
society are differently divided and the facilities vary from places to places, person to person etc.
Like the poor living in poor areas are not provided good health facilities whereas the rich get up
to date facilities. In UK the people who live in poor areas dies earlier that those of living in rich
areas. The unskilled worker die because of cancer. So the government is investing in the health
of the people because there is a huge loss to the country when a worker die because of health
issues (Thoits, 2011). It effects the economy as well as the country's growth. Creating happier
and healthier environment is the main focus of the government. The major issue related to health
inequalities lie under the economical factors which are basically related to the income of the
people.
Here, in this study Peter and Sarah do not earn and are dependent on the government
facilities which states that they are lying under the criteria of the inequalities which can also be a
resin for their inappropriate health. They are poor and live in the poor area so there are least
chances for them to get the good facilities related to health (Patel and et. al., 2010.). Peter and
Sarah are refuge too they can also face the inequality of the citizen and refugee.
1.3 Discuss the reason and any possible barriers to Peter and Sarah accessing health care
Accessing to health care in a country where you have migrated recently from another
country is itself a major barrier to its facility but the facility can be gained you just need to be
more keen toward getting it and you have to face many challenges while approaching for it
which may be a long journey and difficult too but not impossible. The possible barriers which
Peter and Sarah may face while having health care are-
