NHSGGC recognises that good health is not evenly distributed across our communities and that health is affected by a range of factors, including social issues, prejudice and discrimination. We are committed to doing everything we can to address these wider issues which cause inequalities in health.

‘A Fairer NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde’ 2013-16
- meeting the requirements of Equality Legislation
Laws are now in place which are designed to protect people from unfair discrimination due to their personal characteristics. Referred to as ‘protected characteristics’, these include age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, sex, race, religion and belief, and sexual orientation.
‘A Fairer NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde’ explains how the organisation will uphold the law by addressing inequalities. This means, for example, making sure that services are working well for everyone and that people are getting information in a way they can understand. The document also covers people’s right not to be discriminated against in the workplace.
