For the third year running, VHS is holding a Parliamentary Reception to promote and celebrate the work of the Cross Party Group on Health Inequalities, of which we are Secretariat.

Sponsored by Anas Sarwar MSP, Co-Convenor of the CPG, and supported by NHS Health Scotland, the reception takes place in the Garden Lobby of the Scottish Parliament on the evening of Tuesday 5th November.

Our guest speaker is Christine Brown, Head of WHO European Office for Investment for Health and Development. Christine will talk about WHO’s Healthy, Prosperous Lives for All – the European Health Equity Status Report 2019 and how they collaborated with the CPG on Health Inequalities to publish a case study on the CPG as part of the health equity initiative. Copies of the case study will be available at the event. Guests will have the opportunity to network with CPG members and view exhibition stands.
