A partnership of third sector and community organisations have come together to set out the urgent action required to achieve the prevention-centred system needed to tackle Scotland’s growing health inequalities crisis. That means resources being allocated to prevention and the impacts of this approach being measured properly to capture the positive impact. They also underlined the need for a whole system approach with a properly resourced third sector, pointing to the complexity of prevention - requiring a whole system approach that includes the public, third and community sector – and those who directly experience health inequalities. They wrote: “We welcome the renewed prevention policy intent from Scottish Government and COSLA but stress it is now crucial that these ambitions are translated – without delay – into specific, fully resourced, and measurable actions at the national and local levels. “We call for an approach that honestly and courageously acknowledges the precarious state of our public, third and community sectors.
