Closely aligned to the Population Health Framework, this sets out collective action at a local and national level to tackle underlying inequalities in our communities.

COSLA’s Spokesperson for Health and Social Care, Cllr Paul Kelly commented:

“I am delighted to see Public Health Scotland's new Strategy.

"In particular, I welcome the focus on partnership working, as we know that it will take the whole system to shift the dial towards prevention.

"I look forward to working together with Public Health Scotland, and our local partners in order to tackle the underlying determinants of poor health and inequalities, and ultimately create a Scotland where everybody thrives."
