Abstract
The setting up of this working party is timely, given the accumulating evidence that socioeconomic differences in health have increased since the Black report was published.5 6 7 In this week's journal McLoone and Boddy show that between the early 1980s and the early 1990s differences in mortality between deprived and affluent small areas of Scotland have increased substantially,8 a phenomenon that has also been reported in the largest Scottish city, Glasgow (p 1482).9Keywords
