NHS Health Scotland has just released the first in a series of regular briefings providing evidence-informed recommendations for tackling the inequalities in our society and their impact on people’s health. The first briefing ‘Health Inequalities: What are they? How can they be reduced?’ explains what health inequalities are, and the action required to reduce health inequalities at a national and a local level. The next briefing will cover ‘Good Work’ and will be published in August. Two briefings will follow in September and will cover the ‘Right to Health’ and ‘Welfare’.
The briefings will be available at www.healthscotland.com. You can also search for the briefings on Twitter using #inequalitybriefing.
