Celebrating the Work of the Cross-Party Group on Health Inequalities

Lodged by Brian Whittle Standard Motion 30 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes reports that Scotland has the lowest life expectancy in Western Europe and is falling behind some Eastern European countries; recognises the sustained efforts of the Cross-Party Group on Health Inequalities to generate awareness, understanding and action on health inequalities across Scotland; acknowledges what it sees as the value of a cross-party and cross-sectoral approach that focuses on addressing the underlying causes of health inequalities as well as their symptoms, and applauds the group’s collaboration with Voluntary Health Scotland and others to highlight evidence, policies and interventions that could help prevent, mitigate or undo health inequalities.
