Fantastic work from colleagues across Scotland. This Call to Action is a clear summary of the key steps we need to take to protect & improve the public’s health.

The RFK Jr. version of health, where health creates health and healthy people don't get sick and the thing that keeps you healthy is /living the right way/ is very seductive to a lot of people. It also places the burden of illness back on the ill, which decreases the value of human life.

📢 Scottish charities call on Holyrood to make environmental policies more inclusive With #EveryonesEnvironment, we wrote to Scottish Parties with recommendations to improve how environmental policies affect marginalised and disadvantaged groups in Scotland. www.ercs.scot/news/scottis...

📢 Austerity is a public health emergency Cuts to welfare & public services have worsened health, driving rising mid-life mortality & health inequalities. Yet, more cuts are coming. With @gerrymccartney1.bsky.social & David Walsh in @bmj.com we call for the health community to speak out 1/2

For the last 35 years England's NHS has been in the hands of people who view it as a business opportunity www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

We create an economic system that makes people sick then we punish them for being sick and push them into the types of jobs that will definitely make them even more sick and then make them even poorer which makes them sicker. Explain that logic!

Poverty kills. Cancer death rates are 60% higher for people living in deprived UK areas compared with those in more affluent areas. 28,400 extra deaths due to deprivation, people seek comfort in smoking. Poor healthcare, late diagnosis, 'must work pressure' punishes the poor.

Life expectancy growth stalls across Europe as England sees sharpest decline. Inequalities; poverty; poor access to good food, housing, healthcare, dentists; junk food take toll. Austerity kills. Govts obsessed with it. Redistribution is off the political agenda.

📢 New report out now highlights how our economy is failing the people of Scotland. We joined voices with leading academics and economists to call for the people of Scotland to have more of a say in the decisions that impact their lives. Find out more: www.weallscotland.org/post/new-rep...
