In May 1998 the Council of
the RCGP supported the formation of a Health Inequalities Group,
following upon a process by which the Council Executive Committee
had identified funding this new initiative as its highest priority
in that year’s budget round.
The Health Inequalities
Standing Group is keen to develop effective working relationships
with people interested in equity of access to primary care,
including those in the voluntary sector, health and social
services, primary care professions and the general public.
The group would welcome any
comments or suggestions about its work programme and health
inequalities in primary care, in general. Any queries should be
addressed to Jonathan Hamston at jhamston@rcgp.org.uk
