".....Health equity audit is a process by which local partners:

* Systematically review inequities in the causes of ill health, and in access to effective services and their outcomes, for a defined population,

* Ensure that action required is agreed and incorporated into local plans, services and practice

* Evaluate the impact of the actions on reducing inequity...."
