P.26 Socially excluded groups including people who are homeless, Traveller and Roma communities, international protection applicants, and people who use drugs/alcohol can often face barriers in accessing healthcare and services. The health status of this group is further compounded by the social determinants of health they face.

Sláintecare 2025+ identifies a number of key initiatives which aim to address these issues and include:

• The Inclusion Health Framework.
• Social determinants of health for Travellers.
• Refugee and migrant health partnership.
• Health diversion scheme for people in possession of drugs for personal use.
