Medact hosted a workshop on Tuesday the 11th of February bringing together leading experts from the tax and health communities to discuss how Medact can educate, inform and campaign on tax issues. Lots of ideas were discussed, a summary of the ideas and action points will be appearing on our website and in your inbox soon.
But, briefly, ideas that received a lot of positive support included: a series of reports on tax and its potential impacts (positive and negative) on health; develop a briefing on tax justice for health professionals; and a campaign focusing on tax avoidance by corporations supplying the NHS.
