The Public Health Review group has produced an engagement paper which gives some background to the review and asks a set of five consultation questions. The deadline for responses is 12 March 2015.

CHEX encourages community-led health organisations to respond to the engagement paper, and has produced its own paper giving a few starting points for reflection. If you would like to help shape CHEX’s response to the engagement paper please complete this survey by Monday 23rd February.

The first five questions are taken directly from the Public Health Review engagement paper so you may wish to ignore these if you plan to submit your own response to the Public Health Review.

Question Title

* 1. How can public health in Scotland best contribute to the challenges discussed? Specifically, what is your view and evidence of the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) to the contribution of the public health function in improving Scotland’s health and reducing inequalities?
