There is growing evidence of ethnic inequalities in health care, particularly in relation to access to services.

It is believed that 20% of health inequalities relate directly to health service provision and there is more we can do to prevent or delay ill health and treat people quicker.

There is also evidence that some ethnic minority communities are more disproportionately affected by long-term conditions than others.

The Integrated Services are one of the Haringey GP Federation largest running group of services, bridging the gap between primary care, secondary care, and the voluntary sector.

The Integrated Services aim to deliver on key national and local strategies to reduce unwarranted variation, by working with specific cohort of patients to achieve better health outcomes.
