Helping to tackle health inequalities
The Women and Equalities Committee's report said that Gypsy, Roma and Traveller people have the worst outcomes of any ethnic group across a huge range of areas, including health.
The committee has made a number of recommendations to the government, including adding Gypsy, Irish Traveller and Roma categories to the NHS data dictionary.
This would help the NHS understand how care is working for Gypsy, Irish Traveller and Roma people and help improve it.
This was also one of our recommendations in 2016.
