Population groups and communities

Rough sleepers

Ill health can be both a cause and a consequence of homelessness. Those who are homeless, particularly rough sleepers, are widely acknowledged to have poor health outcomes and often have complex health needs, including substance misuse and mental health problems, and struggle to access quality health and care services.

OHID, together with key partners and stakeholders, has produced many documents identifying the local population's needs. Please note that this list will be updated as and when the new information becomes available.
