SUMMARY:Health Inequalities Inquiry Engagement Event: Economy and Employment
DESCRIPTION:The Scottish Parliament’s Health\, Social Care & Sport Committee is holding an inquiry into what can be done about health inequalities. The Parliament’s Community & Participation Team are hosting four informal engagement events as part of their scrutiny of the wider determinants of health inequalities. \nThis online engagement event will focus on economy and employment. It will give organisations the chance to engage with parliamentarians about the wider determinants of health. \nIncome and employment status are strongly associated with health and wellbeing. \n\n\n\nPoor health can limit access to employment.\nUnemployment and job insecurity can lead to poor health and wellbeing.\nLow incomes can prevent people from participating in social life and day to day activities.\nFood poverty and insecurity can lead to poor health.\nIncome can be related to life expectancy\, with those on higher salaries expected to live longer.\nMany physical and mental health outcomes improve as income rises.\n\n\n\nIn the context of economy and employment we would like participants to consider: \n\nWhat do you think are the key factors which have negative impact upon people’s health?\nWhat do you think are the main barriers to people improving their health?\nWhat change(s) would you like to see which would help improve people’s health?\n\nVoluntary Health Scotland is helping facilitate each of the engagement events and we are looking for expressions of interest from those wanting to take part. If you are interested in contributing to this session we would be grateful if you could contact Kimberley with your expression of interest.

SUMMARY:Health Inequalities Inquiry Engagement Event: Equalities and Human Rights
DESCRIPTION:The Scottish Parliament’s Health\, Social Care & Sport Committee is holding an inquiry into what can be done about health inequalities. The Parliament’s Community & Participation Team are hosting four informal engagement events as part of their scrutiny of the wider determinants of health inequalities. \nThis online engagement event will focus on equalities and human rights. It will give organisations the chance to engage with parliamentarians about the wider determinants of health. \nSocial injustice can create conditions that can negatively affect the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities. \n\nSome individuals and groups\, most often those who are vulnerable or disadvantaged\, have poorer health outcomes than others.\nThese individuals and groups can experience barriers accessing health and care\, these can be physical\, financial\, mental or social related to stigma/discrimination.\nHuman rights violations can contribute to and exacerbate poor health.\n\nIn the context of equalities and human rights we would like participants to consider: \n\nWhat do you think are the key factors which have negative impact upon people’s health?\nWhat do you think are the main barriers to people improving their health?\nWhat change(s) would you like to see which would help improve people’s health?\n\nVoluntary Health Scotland is helping facilitate each of the engagement events and we are looking for expressions of interest from those wanting to take part.
