THE quality of life is not improving in Scotland and the governments north and south of the border must work together to turn it around, according to a report from a charitable foundation.

Now in its second year, the Life in the UK index, produced by Carnegie UK, measures the wellbeing of the people of Britain by examining answers to questions across social, environmental, economic and democratic themes.

The report, based on surveys by the foundation, makes the case for governments in Edinburgh and London to co-operate on tackling inequality and boosting the collective wellbeing of Scotland’s people.
