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.

What's New!
The SHA is 80 years old this
year. Happy Birthday to us!
The AGM was held on 21
January 2010. 2009 was an active year for SHA Scotland with a growing
membership, stronger finances and a wide range of activities organised.
The main debate was on the
proposals for minimum pricing of alcohol. Cautious support for this in
the absence of other measures and therefore welcomed the establishment
of a Commission by Scottish Labour.
The next SHA
meeting will be held on Thursday
4 November
at City Chambers,
Glasgow. Starting at 7pm. Then 20 January 2011.
