Abstract

This respiratory inequalities plan sets out how Public Health Scotland will identify and report inequalities in respiratory infections such as COVID-19, influenza and RSV. It outlines actions to improve understanding of how factors such as deprivation, ethnicity, housing, and underlying health conditions influence infection risk and outcomes. This includes a literature review, data mapping to identify gaps, and the development of case studies to inform future reporting and interventions. The aim is to strengthen evidence, collaboration and reporting on respiratory health inequalities, supporting more equitable prevention and care across Scotland.
