The health status of Gypsies and Travellers is much poorer than that of the general population, even when controlling for confounding factors such as
variable socio-economic status and/or ethnicity
Poor access to, and uptake of, health services is a major factor in Gypsy and Traveller health
Gypsy and Traveller health receives scant attention in policy documents on health inequalities
Examples of good practice exist, but these need to be funded and replicated across more localities.
