title: Health inequalities. Travellers' tales.
abstract: A Sheffield University report found gypsies' health problems to be two to five times worse than in other communities. Anecdotal evidence suggests NHS staff prejudice often denies travelling communities access to healthcare. The appointment of gypsy traveller health visitors has made solid progress with a difficult-to-reach population.
