Director of Public Health annual reports

Most recent report

"This is my fifth annual report as Director of Public Health for Highland and Argyll and Bute. The focus this year is on health inequalities, and this is one of the two strategic priorities for public health within NHS Highland. The other strategic priority is prevention which was the subject of the report for 2022. At its heart, tackling health inequalities is about fairness and about ensuring that everyone has the best chance of a long and healthy life. No one ever goes to their health professional and complains of having a health inequality. People have poor health. When that poor health results from a lack of fairness or a lack of opportunity then we need to tackle that inequality."
