NHS review to tackle LGBT+ health inequalities
The NHS has launched a review to tackle health inequalities experienced by LGBT+ people, including access to mental health care, cancer screening and primary care services. The work, will help the NHS understand how it can do more to meet the needs of LGBT+ people, including understanding barriers to accessing healthcare and the impact of LGBT+ health inequalities on outcomes and patient safety. The six-month review will examine data and evidence from a range of research and clinical settings, including mental health, sexual and reproductive health, HIV, perinatal care, primary care and cancer screening as well as smoking, alcohol and drug prevention services.
