INTRRODUCTIONToday in the society, the health and social care plays a vital role to improve the situationof the society. In the following report the sociological context of health and social care in term ofin inequalities ,sociological concept and theory in relation to contemporary social and healthissues. To deal with these social issues in social and health care, the world health organisation ismaking efforts to create a healthy environment for the people of the society (Reeves and et. al,2011). The world health organisation is an social welfare unit which works for the society invarious secretors. It issues some important re[ports like black report,Acheson report and finalreport. Negative issues harm the health and the well being of the individual of social and healthcare service users.TASK 2 2.1Data to explain inequalities which exist in health and social careInequalities in the health and social care create negative environment among allindividual whether it is service users or service providers. The black report is an officialdocument which is issued by the department of health ans social security in united kingdom. I twas named by its commission chairperson sir Douglas black (Bird and et. al, 2010). In thisreport it is showed that there was mostly six issues as followings.1.Poverty and inequalities2.Absolute or relative difference3.Policy response4.Behavioural explanation5.Individual difference or social inequalities6.Psychological and material explantation of inequalities of healthThe report shows that there is decrease in mortality by all cause in united kingdom. InWellington health centre there are also inequalities in the death rate. The death rate of the classone and the men of class five has a huge gap which is harmful for the health centre. There isinequalities in term of poverty (Williams and Sternthal, 2010). The world health organisation hassuggested that the inequalities should be between the individual not among the social group .Thedifference among individual are measured on the basis of gini coefficient. This helps inanalysing them logically to measure the gap financially.
The black report of the world health organisation clears the difference between social groupsand individuals.Absolute and relative difference is also a crucial issue of the health ans social care.According to the black report it can be said that an absolute difference among individual in termof death rate is imbalance (Shim, 2010). The life expectancy difference can be decrease byimproving the situation of the lower class people rather than the top class people. So that theinequalities of the health can be avoided or decreased. Relative difference is the ration betweenthe people of the society which affect the health and social care like Wellington health centre todeal with this situation according to the commission of world health organisation.For example the consumption of the salt in diet can affect the blood pressure of thepeople of the society and consequently affect the health of the people in negative way. It leads tothe health condition difference. So the decrease in the salt consumption can help in reducing thegap of the health issue of blood pressure in united kingdom (Umberson and Karas Montez,2010). Policy response according to the acheson report of the department of health and socialcare indicated the data related to the mortality rates among the individual in united kingdom.The acheson report of world health organisation describes that upper class of the peopleof the society has increased rate of mortality than the other social class of the united kingdom. Itindicates the mortality rates of the Wellington health centre. This report explained about that thesocial and health care sector. Material and psychological explanation of the black report andacheson report is that the person who feel depressed in relation to his surrounding or work, willbe affected negatively about his health as high blood pressure and the mental problems.Behaviour of the person according to the black report as well as the acheson report isaffected by the health condition of the people of the society. There are many disease and healthissues which affect the behaviour and consequently the health rate of the persons in many ways.These issue can be related to the smoking, blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose imbalance inthe body. Thus the black report , acheson report and the final report of the department of healthand social care of united kingdom shows the clear picture of the inequalities of the health amongthe people which is existed in the health and social care sector like Wellington health centre.
