Welcome to the web
site of SHA Scotland
The SHA was founded in
1930 to campaign for a National Health Service. We are a
socialist organisation that is affiliated to and actively
supports the Scottish Labour Party. However, we do not
require our members to join the Labour Party.
SHA Scotland is committed
to a broad public health approach to health policy. Other
key principles include:
-
Treatment provided
according to need and free at the time of delivery.
-
Democratic
accountability at all levels
-
Users of health care
should be the focus of the service, not as ‘customers’
but as partners in care
-
Health care services
should be provided by high quality, directly employed
staff
-
Effective
collaboration between health and social care
-
The capacity to
deliver an effective service
-
Celebrate diversity
and ensure equal access to health care.
SHA Scotland meets four
times per year at Glasgow City Council Chambers starting at
7pm.
