Panel 7: From policy to impact: domestic accountability and legislative oversight
As non-communicable diseases, mental health conditions and widening inequalities place growing pressure on societies and economies, governments are being forced to rethink where health is really shaped. In this panel, local and regional leaders will reflect on the need to recognise health as a shared responsibility across housing, education, transport, planning and environment briefs. This roundtable will explore how parliamentarians and city mayors can work together around a common framework that encompasses legislative scrutiny, cross-departmental accountability, and practical local action to prevent disease, reduce inequalities, and place ‘Health in All Policies’ on the UK’s 2027 G20 agenda. The G20&G7 Health and Development Partnership will formally launch the London Declaration on Health in All Policies and a new global partnership of legislators and city leaders.
