Issue details

The BCF is a programme spanning both the NHS and local government. Its aim is to improve the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in our society by placing them at the centre of their care and support and providing them with ‘wrap around’ fully integrated health and social care, resulting in an improved experience and better quality of life.

The council carried out a Black and Minority Ethnic Health Needs Assessment that people from Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities face access issues in Doncaster with primary care and dentistry services in particular. These workers will facilitate more accessible health and wellbeing services. Additionally, and more immediately these workers will contribute to mitigating the impact of the COVID pandemic on our Gypsy, Roma and Traveller citizens.
