| Annotation | Whilst much has been written about women and social policy, housing and health, the findings do not appear to have been used for policy or service development aimed at homeless people. The conference organised by Health Action for Homeless People (HAHP) was designed to acknowledge the existence, diversity and specific needs of homeless women, particularly health and social care issues, and the gaps in service provision highlighted. The emphasis of the final part of the programme was on setting standards for good practice. Workshop sessions considered: working practices affecting equity of access to services for homeless women; how planners, managers and practitioners could provide services responding to the needs of a wide range of homeless women; and the internal structures needed to test the quality of service provision for homeless women.
