The IfG DevoLab is a new Institute for Government initiative dedicated to exploring the innovations enabled by devolution, learning from the results, and sharing the lessons so that places can take better decisions about how to use devolved powers and budgets.
The first ever IfG DevoLab event saw speakers from three regions set out how the powers and profile of mayors are being used to address health inequalities in their regions.
The three case studies being presented at IfG DevoLab #1 were:
‘Beds for Babies: Safe Space to Sleep’, by Andy Gates, Director of Development, Collaboration and Culture at the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority
‘Taking a health in all policies approach’, by Vicky Hobart, Director of Public Health at the Greater London Authority Group.
‘Working Well’, by Thomas Britton, Principal – Contracted Employment Provision at the Greater Manchester Combined Authority.
The three speakers were joined by Peter Babudu, Executive Director of Impact on Urban Health, for a broader discussion of how devolution can improve health outcomes, how the government can support innovation and learning, and whether there is a case for further devolution in this area.
This event, which took place in London and could also be joined online, was chaired by Akash Paun, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.
Insights from this event informed a published policy briefing containing the three case studies and the key lessons for mayors and local leaders.
This event was kindly supported by Impact on Urban Health.
