Voluntary Health Scotland and the Cross Party Group on Health Inequalities hosted an event exploring health inequalities in Scotland as part of the Scottish Parliament 2024 Festival of Politics on the 21 August 2024. We were joined in the Scottish Parliament by our panel and attendees to discuss health creation.
The event was chaired by Emma Harper MSP, Co-convenor of the Health Inequalities Cross Party Group. Our panel discussion aimed to explore how we work together to create good health for all. Health inequalities mean that people living with social, economic and physical disadvantages are more likely to experience ill-health and die earlier.
The discussion centred round the right to health, barriers, and access to health services and how these specifically impact race as well as the prison population, and those living in poverty.
