Question
To ask the Scottish Government what action it is taking to address the health issues that are attributed to poor air quality.
Answer
The Cleaner Air for Scotland strategy (CAFS) sets out a series of actions for Government, Transport Scotland, local authorities and others to further reduce air pollution and its impact on public health across Scotland. Financial and other support is provided to local authorities to assist them with monitoring and implementing local actions to improve air quality. The recent budget identified an additional £1million to support this priority work.
