About West Lothian

Hot air balloon

West Lothian is approximately 15 miles west of Edinburgh, 30 miles east of Glasgow and covers 165 square miles. The main centres of population are Livingston, Bathgate and Linlithgow.

West Lothian has a population of overĀ 171,040 (as at June 2009) and is growing much faster than Scotland as a whole.

The overall quality of life in West Lothian is good, with 86% of Citizens' Panel members very satisfied or satisfied with West Lothian as a place to live.

West Lothian has similar health problems to the rest of Scotland, but a poor health record compared to the rest of Lothian and there are still areas of disadvantage, with differences remaining in health, prosperity, education, housing and overall quality of life between people living in different parts of West Lothian.

The CHCP wants better health, more joined-up health and social care services and better outcomes for people to reduce health inequalities across all communities in West Lothian.
