New initiative aimed at tackling ‘dramatic’ health and life expectancy differences in Scotland to be launched

A NEW initiative aimed at tackling the “dramatic” differences in health and life expectancy across Scotland will be launched in three council areas this week.

The new Collaboration for Health Equity (CHE) aims to build a “healthier, more equitable Scotland” by addressing the root causes of health inequalities.

Currently, people living in the most deprived parts of the country die, on average, a decade earlier than those in the wealthiest areas.
