The Scottish Government places a high priority on improving the health of the people of Scotland. The focus in Scotland on working age health is not new and initiatives have been supported by government since 1996, with additional emphasis given in 2003.
The Scottish Government has worked with the other administrations in Great Britain on the Health, Work and Wellbeing strategy since its launch in 2005 and we welcome the report by Dame Carol Black on the health of the working age population of Great Britain.
The Scottish Government's response to the Dame Carol Black report sets out why we continue to place importance on maximising the health of our working age population and what our priorities are in achieving this.
