In this resource we set out four key actions we think can help eradicate health inequality in Scotland.

The actions are based on learning from our work in this area, including from the wider community-led health sector.

Fairer distribution of resources – we need to restructure our society and economy so that resources are distributed more fairly and sustainably.

Recognise the value of community-led approaches and resource it effectively - including long term (3 years plus) funding which is consistent and accessible to develop impactful and sustainable projects.

Listen to communities – support and investment in proper participation and co-production is required in order to move towards preventative approaches with a clear focus on the social determinants of health/social model of health.

Increased and improved capacity building - for staff and professionals at all levels as well as for communities, particularly around inequality, equality and participation.

This resource was based on a CHEX briefing paper we published in February 2024:
