🩺 On inequalities in health:
“I can predict on a map who is likely to die in their 90s and who will die in their 70s”
Dorling points to the stark reality that healthy life expectancy can be predicted based on what area people grow up and live in.

We’re deeply saddened by the passing of Sir George Reid, founder of Scotland’s Futures Forum.

As we mark our 20th anniversary, we honour his legacy of public service and visionary leadership. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
