Tackling health inequalities is high on the government agenda, yet there has been a deeply inadequate response from health services and government to target these groups which, in some cases, is compounded by a dangerously complacent attitude and a lazy fatalism that they 'just do' die younger.

"Common sense determines that institutional Mental Health - as well as many of it's critics - divert our attention from a larger issue: an institutional society that is antithetical to autonomy, runs counter to community, and has become dangerously dehumanising. Mass mental illness is one kind of diversion, but a critique of only psychiatry is another." p.4, Commonsense Rebellion: Taking Back Your Life from Drugs, Shrinks, Corporations and a World Gone Crazy, Bruce E. Levine
