[1] Until his retirement in late 2015, Scott-Samuel was a senior lecturer in public health and policy at the University of Liverpool.
[4] In 2014, he was the joint author of a paper published in the International Journal of Health Services which claimed that the policies of Margaret Thatcher's government had led to the "unnecessary and unjust premature death of many British citizens, together with a substantial and continuing burden of suffering and loss of well-being".
[6] He supported the campaign to preserve the independence of Liverpool Women's Hospital, saying that the proposal to move it was part of the government plans to cut services and eventually privatise them.
[7] In 2017, he stood for election to the Momentum executive, and said that he was "an adviser to Labour's shadow health minister".
[8] Scott-Samuel submitted a motion of no confidence in former Labour MP Luciana Berger, which was subsequently withdrawn[9] after Tom Watson called for the Wavertree party to be suspended.
