SUMMARY:Public Health Review Third Sector Sounding Board
DESCRIPTION:A review of public health is currently underway in Scotland. Called for by Scottish Ministers in November last year\, the review is being carried out by an expert review group\, which includes Voluntary Health Scotland. The review group\, chaired by Dr Hamish Wilson\, met in December 2014 and will meet monthly\, aiming to report to Ministers in summer of this year. \nCurrently the group is developing its engagement with stakeholders and VHS is holding a Sounding Board meeting to give an opportunity to third sector colleagues to contribute their thoughts and experiences to the debate.
