question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to implement the recommendation made in the Inclusion Health Board report <i>Hidden Needs: Identifying Key Vulnerable Groups in Data Collection</i>s that Gypsies and Travellers should be designated as particularly vulnerable.
tabling member printed	Baroness Hodgson of Abinger
uin	HL2865
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2016 answer text <p>We recognise the importance of addressing the needs of vulnerable groups such as Gypsies and Travellers as part of our wider work on tackling health inequalities. We share the concerns of the <em>Hidden Needs: Identifying Key Vulnerable Groups in Data Collection</em> (2014) report, which identified the poor health experiences of some Gypsy and Traveller groups making them particularly vulnerable in terms of much higher rates of mortality and morbidity than the general population.</p><p> </p><p>The National Inclusion Health Board championed more effective local action to address these concerns. This included encouraging better local planning and commissioning of services, and improving access to them.</p><p> </p><p>Earlier this year, we published the board’s report <em>Impact of insecure accommodation and the living environment on Gypsies’ and Travellers’ health</em> (2016).This report built on concerns in earlier reports about the vulnerability of this group and sets out suggested actions to improve the living conditions and health outcomes of Gypsies and Travellers. It calls for more joined up working by local authorities, the National Health Service and responsible health agencies, and local public health services, and emphasises the importance of building greater community cohesion to address some of the key obstacles to the development of a healthy and sustainable environment for Gypsy and Traveller families. A copy of the report is attached.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton question first answered 08/11/2016 16:23:07 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton attachment 1 file name Impact of insecure accommodation Gypsies and Traveller health.pdf title Impact of insecure accommodation report
