information as well as case study (Ayo, 2012). First of all it shows the outcomes of socio
economic which influences health by describing the eminent role of government in health
programmes. Apart from that, it also included the contribution of professionals in attaining
objectives of higher authorities. In additional, it shows the relation of beliefs with theories of

TASK 1
1.1 Effects of socio-economic which influences on health
Social economic have a greater impact on health due to their broad concept and complex
nature as well it act as a most important determinants of wellness. Health is a one of the
indispensable part for every well being and overall nation because it affects their existing life
style in every manner. Socio economic is a term which shows the influence of economic activity
and it is designed or shaped by social processes (Chou, and et. al., 2013). In other words it
describes the progress of society or various health issues which was faced by existing public's
due to the local, regional or global economy. Basically health is affected by economically factors
in various way for example-
 Due to emergence of advanced technology harmful chemicals are coming out which may
harm the overall environment and health of whole society also.
 Increase in unemployment affects the living standard of local or poor peoples.
 Discrimination on the basis of income groups, society at health institution.
 Increase in illiterate people or society by neglecting poor peoples.
1

Apart from this socio-economic is also consider as umbrella term which covers millions of
matters because if there is a growth and development in a economical factors then it
automatically enhance whole society by protecting them from any exploitation. At last health of
individual or public is directly depended on upliftment of nation but due to existence of disparity
at workplace various security or safety issues are emerging at a larger extent (Eldredge, and et.
al., 2016).
1.2 Relevance of governance sources in reporting inequalities on health
Governing bodies have implemented many more laws or legal policies to eradicate
health issues which was occurring in a society which impact overall nation in every aspect. To
understand the hidden inequalities on health advisory bodies establishes some of the institutions
whose main motive is to prepare a report on discrimination arises related to health or safety of
individuals, society or employees. In fact the main reason behind implementing a investigation
team is to-
 Acquire appropriate or accurate data and information related to health disparity.
 Understand the reason behind discrimination.
 Want to get updated about hidden problems or obstacles arises at safety institution.
 Improve the worst conditions or health problems.
 Eradicate existing health hazards or harmful diseases by taking immediate actions against
inequalities.
Apart from this government have enacted some of the useful investigation team or
institution to acquire data or hidden reason behind enquiries(Golden, 2012).
Here is a some of the attractive systems establishes by governance are-
 Ancheson report – Administrative bodies have implemented this enquiry team to identify
the areas where there is much requirement of health policies on priority bases to reduce
health discrimination. According to this report investigation team try to execute the
inquiry recommendation or suggestion after evaluating the need of change or reformation
(Earp, 2012).
 Black report DHSS – Establishes by department of health and social security to get aware
about existing inequality by founding the major cause of economic discrimination. This
2

 report is going to explain the recent situation of an individual due to the creation of gap
between social class.
1.3 Reasons for barriers to accessing healthcare
Barriers are major obstacles which was occurring while establishing healthcare institution
due to increase in disparity or inequalities. These restrictions will prevent any person from
achieving good health, social care and new born services. It can be due to lack of knowledge
about the services(Head, and et. al., 2013).
 Physical barriers- These hinder the path for any individual to go to a particular place. The
blocking of space or barricades lead to this barrier.
 Psychological barriers- This barrier deals with the thinking capacity of a person. Like a
person may be ill but his concentration is about the disease he must have.
 Geographical barrier- This deals with the area factor, where some people live near the
facilities and some do no, so they are deprived of those amenities due to lack of modes of
transportation. For example, If a person suddenly gets ill then distance of facilities
become a major problem (Henke, and et. al., 2011).
 Cultural and language barriers- This problem arises due to diverse culture and tradition of
the country, there are various areas which have their native language and do no
understand any other communicating language so the information provided about health
and social care in English, that could not help them. They would require a mediator,
which is always not possible.
 Resource barrier- Sometimes the services required by the people can clash in such a way
that many get deprived of these resources so this leads to problem.
At last healthcare have to face many more challenges and risk while reducing their
obstacles of wellness hazards (Higgins, 2012).

TASK 2
3.1 Relation of health beliefs with theories of health behaviour
There are many more theories are available related to human behaviour which can be
used by public health specialist or practitioners to describe useful health beliefs among
community. Basically health beliefs or norms are found with the help of society or peoples to
eradicate various issues related to well-being (Lupton, 2012). Specialist or scholars have
implemented many more theories and beliefs of health behaviour of an individual and overall
society for example-
 Theory of planned behaviour- According to this theory experience persons can predict
the action of an individual towards their health by planning it in a proper manner. In this
theory it is very helpful in predicting future things in a existing period.
According to given case study Ayesha is a public health specialist and she is liable for
providing actual or accurate data or information to remove obstacles related to health with the
help of various theories and beliefs. Apart from this some of the indispensable beliefs and
models of behavioural change are- Health belief model- Focussed on attitudes or emotions of an individuals as well as it
also known as psychological model of health behaviour. Theory reasoned action- According to this theory behaviour of an individual is caused
by two factors first is attitudes and the other is a subjective norms.
 Health action model – It is a motivational and violation constructs which described the
change in health of individual behaviour (Neiger, and et. al., 2012).
At last in given scenario various role of beliefs and theories are shown in changing
behaviour of an individual.
3.2 Impact of potential conflicts with local industry
Health promotion procedures by both legislature and medicinal experts present an
inconsistent situation amongst them and general businesses. Government methodologies to
decrease smoking among individuals incorporate high taxes as well as preventing tobacco
creating businesses from promoting in broad communications among different measures. These
organizations exceedingly supply legislature with a great deal of incomes regardless of their
4

item's well-being suggestions. Therefore, they require security against any strengths that may
cause their conclusion or benefit diminished(Richard, 2011).
The administration systems realize a contention where organizations get denied their rights to
publicize and over taxed. In spite of, their viability in controlling smoking in UK, tax collection
and commercial notwithstanding have had awesome negative effects on tobacco business.
Benefits have enormously gone down getting confusion in business. Regulatory bodies promote
health in UK while tobacco enterprises have various private investors and they only want to gain
profits or revenues (Gauvin, 2011).
Because of their diverse destinations after effect of their conflict situation advances to court
claims. These ventures may pick to sue legislature for authorizing them and again killing
industry with every one of their speculations going to waste. These enterprises are additionally
required to post data on negative impacts of smoking on the parcels so that to caution the
smokers of results of smoking. The practice has additionally confronted protest on ground that it
will influence market interest for their items ( Raine, 2011).
3.3 Importance of providing health related data to public
Ayesha’s health-related research provide valuable profits to society. This type of analysis
is valuable to improve public health and care. The main reason to protect individual privacy is to
increase their interest rates. Basically this type of information is required to benefit the society.
But with this implementation with need not forget the personal space for the people, that is also
required and should not be ignored at any cost. At the same time, Ayesha tried to make health
research benefit the people by facilitating access to new therapies, more effective ways to
prevent illness, improved diagnostics, and deliver care. Most doctors are assessing the need of
health to individual patients (Rongen, and et. al., 2013). With the help of professional teaching
and clinical practice Ayesha has developed an organised method to such analysis and used it
before anyone could start a treatment that could be believed to be effective.
The new agenda for Ayesha includes the hygiene transition, demographical conversion
and environmental changes of health. The role of the Ayesha in influencing health is not limited
under the health region but also in various sectors other than the health systems. This type of
5

system is used for strengthening the people belief, increase human resource development and
also the capacity for creation and modulation in the public health related factors are very
important aspect within the health sector. Presence in health of a population leads to social
determinants of health as nutrition, living conditions, sanitation, education, safe drinking water,
new born baby development and security measures (Salazar, 2015).
