How can poor health and health inequalities experienced by Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities be improved

A report has outlined how some of the starkest inequalities in access to healthcare in England and the most dire mental health outcomes are experienced by Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities .

The report by the NHS Race and Health Observatory– Inequalities in Mental Health Care for Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller Communities: Identifying Best Practice explores a lack of mental health care provision for these communities, captures first hand insight; and highlights good practice examples from six effective services across England, most of them run by voluntary Gypsy, Roma and Traveller organisations.
