Summary, etc. <span style="font-family: UtopiaStd-Regular;"></span><p align="left"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">This briefing looks at the relationship between deprivation and the use of </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">emergency hospital care by children and young people in England (between </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">2005/6 and 2015/16). It aims to describe and highlight areas of inequality and </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">to explore how they have changed over time. As well as looking at the overall </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">patterns of emergency hospital use, we focus in particular on three common </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">conditions – asthma, diabetes and epilepsy – where more timely and effective </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">primary, community or outpatient care could prevent admissions. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">We find that while there has been progress in reducing the rate of emergency </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">admissions for the most deprived children, a stubborn gap remains between </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">rich and poor: children and young people from the most deprived areas are </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">consistently more likely both to go to A&E and to need emergency hospital </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">treatment than children from the least deprived areas. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Encouragingly, in many areas the inequality gap is narrowing. This may be </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">due, in part, to certain national policy initiatives and quality improvement </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">work. However, the size and persistence of any gap is a matter of concern. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Indeed, there are areas where the most deprived children are experiencing a </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">higher rate of emergency admissions than they were a decade ago and where </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">this inequality gap is growing.</span></p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span>
