This duty to produce a health inequality strategy has helped drive progress on health in the GLA, with the region taking bold action to address health inequalities, including restricting junk food advertising across Transport for London. An evaluation study by the National Institute for Health and Care Research found that within three years of the policy being introduced, London households reduced their purchases of unhealthy food by 1,000 calories per week, and this is estimated to have resulted in almost 95,000 fewer cases of obesity within three years, post-intervention.
