Staff answer health quiz

HEALTH workers in Edinburgh have been asked how they would address the increasing problem of health inequalities.

The Edinburgh Community Health Partnership, comprising NHS Lothian and the council, launched a consultation paper in the hope that frontline workers would share their expertise.

Ailish O'Neill, NHS Lothian's promotions specialist, said: "There is a health gap between the richest and the poorest in our society. Statistics for Edinburgh continue to reflect this."
