“Unacceptable inequalities in health outcomes” for LGBT people “glare out wherever you look”

“Unacceptable inequalities in health outcomes” for LGBT people “glare out wherever you look” LGBT people are being let down in health and social care, by structures and services that are not inclusive or designed with them in mind, and by a lack of leadership in Government, NHS and social services.

In a new report the Women and Equalities Committee has found that too often LGBT people are expected to fit into systems that assume they are straight and cisgender. But the Committee has found that deep inequalities exist in health outcomes for these communities and that treating them “the same” as non-LGBT people will not address these poor outcomes.
