AnnotationThis research project maps the geographical spread and characteristics of single homeless people in Lewisham, Southwark and Lambeth, and identifies gaps in service provision and barriers in access to primary health care. The views of homeless people, hostel staff and community agencies, and the results of a consultation exercise are summarised. An outline strategy for the Three Boroughs Primary Health Care Team (PHCT) is presented: developing long-term working relationships with community groups; increasing expertise within the Team; working with hostels; working with mainstream primary health care services; and developing an information strategy.
