Surgery bid for Gypsies - Edingborough

From scotsman.com

A CAPITAL NHS practice is planning to open a £60,000 mobile doctor’s surgery for Gypsies.


Health bosses want to introduce a permanent service whereby staff visit Gypsy encampments, including unauthorised ones, to make health checks.

The Edinburgh Access Practice argues that Gypsies and Travellers have only “sporadic self-initiated engagement’ with health services.

And it is calling for similar schemes across Scotland to be introduced at a cost of hundreds of thousands of pounds.
