Health & Wellbeing
Our Health & Wellbeing Topic covers all aspects of health - both physical and mental. Environmental quality problems like litter, dog fouling, graffiti and flytipping all affect the quality of life of people living in Scotland, with higher levels of depression and illness amongst people who live in areas with poor local environmental quality.
