Project Details

Description

This report reviews evidence on the provision of effective health services for
homeless people. It draws on a literature review encompassing Scottish, English
and international research and on a small number of focus groups and interviews
with health professionals, homelessness workers and other interested parties
conducted in Edinburgh, Perth and Kinross and Argyll and Bute during the Spring of
2003. Local authorities, NHS Health Boards and 103 organisations involved in
providing homelessness services in Scotland were also asked to submit relevant
evidence and reports. A search of relevant websites was also conducted.
