Episode 1 of Equally Valued: Fuelling Scotland’s health divide – the cost of spiralling energy prices
Equally Valued brings voices from across health and social care to ask the tough questions around an issue of the moment.
In episode one, we find out what the rising fuel costs mean for individuals most at risk and in need of support. From academics and third sector leaders to unpaid carers and professionals working on the front lines in communities, these voices provide an insight into the consequences of fuel poverty and what Scotland’s leaders need to do to help.
Equally Valued is produced in partnership with healthandcare.scot an e-news organisation focussing on health and social care news in Scotland.
