Resumen
The reduction of health inequalities has been a stated aim of many Western governments. This is
certainly true of the devolved government in Scotland, both historically1-4 and also currently: the
need to narrow inequalities in health and its determinants has been emphasised by the present
administration in all its recent parliamentary legislative programmes5-8. Indeed, the narrowing of
economic inequality – a fundamental cause of health inequality9-12 – is one of the two ‘key pillars’ of
the Scottish Government’s overall economic strategy13. However, as we seek to emerge from the
current COVID-19 emergency, how will these laudable aims stand up in a post-pandemic world?
