Scotland's health is getting worse despite progress in the past, the head of Public Health Scotland has said. The public health body's chief executive Paul Johnston called for a preventative approach, saying the burden of disease from an ageing nation is likely to grow. He made the comments in an article for the think tank Reform Scotland.
He added: "People in Scotland now die younger than in any other western European country. People spend more of their lives in ill health. The gap in life expectancy between the poorest and the wealthiest is growing. We have seen great progress in the past but, at the moment, Scotland's health is getting worse. We must be bold and brave in the face of the health challenges we face.
