Highly vulnerable and chronically unwell homeless people
are being overlooked by England's local authorities' health plans and face
barriers to accessing even basic healthcare, says a new report. The report,
‘Needs to Know', by St Mungo's Broadway and Homeless Link, found that, despite
73% of homeless people having a physical health problem, some of the most
vulnerable are being left out of the planning and commissioning of healthcare
services. The report found that about
two thirds (64%) of JSNAs made no mention of single homeless people and seven
(14%) made no mention of homeless people at all. Read more on the St Mungo’s
website.
