Low Commission tackles health
Social welfare law advice should be integrated with health and social care services, according to a report published by the Low Commission and Advice Services Alliance.
The study has been backed by leading epidemiologist Sir Michael Marmot, author of the influential 2010 report Fair Society, Healthy Lives. A summary of the Low Commission’s report on ‘the role of advice services in health outcomes’ is included with this issue of Legal Action.
■ Legal Action has been shortlisted in the 2015 Halsbury Legal Awards. Other finalists include regular contributor Catherine Baksi.
