Maternity Action is carrying forward policy and campaign work begun by Maternity Alliance and The Reaching Out Project,
Medact.
Entitlement to GP and other primary care
A joint Home Office and Department of Health review is considering proposals which would exclude vulnerable migrants from
eligibility for free NHS GP and other primary care services. We prepared a briefing paper on the potential impact on maternal
and infant health. We are supporting the Medact campaign to ensure access to health care for vulnerable migrants.
