May be of interest to see/compare what  other countries in Europe are doing on this. For example Norway has set up a data support system which provides municipal authorities with locally relevant data on social determinants and health. The system  supports planning and analysis of social inequities and was introduced to enable local stakeholders to implement responsibilities set out in the new public health act. This charges all municipal authorities with responsibility to address social inequities in health in all local plans, investments and reporting).
