New report: Tackling childhood health inequalities in Scotland

A new report from the Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) and the Mental Health Foundation (MHF) highlights urgent action needed to tackle childhood health inequalities in Scotland. 

It identifies major gaps between research, policy, and local delivery of national strategies. With the election approaching, the report calls on policymakers to prioritise translating evidence into action. The findings aim to drive more effective, inclusive approaches to improving children’s health outcomes.
