The coalition will promise to make the health care of the vulnerable groups much better like the homeless, sex workers and even the prisoners by making sure that they have access to improved NHS care.
Andrew Lansley, the health secretary, has all the plans to set up a health inclusion board to handle chronic health problems spread in the marginalized groups. Most of these people don't even go for regular check ups to the GPs.
He has hired one of the most renowned doctors of the UK, Prof Steve Field to lead a team of expert advisers, who was the chair of the Royal College of GPs until two weeks ago. The members of this team will analyze whether the NHS is doing enough work to make the services more accessible for these groups and decrease the gaps between their qualities of health as compared to other people.
Prof Field said that Andrew Lansley wanted to bring about significant changes in health inequalities and make sure that the most vulnerable and disadvantaged in the society get access to the healthcare which they deserve.
