The Health Advocacy Service in East London (East London and City HA)
is under threat with a reduction in sessions planned. This service is
vital in multicultural areas such as Hackney (where I practice). Many
patients do not speak any english and without an advocate they end up
with 2nd class health care.
what better way of widenning the "Health Divide"
