Health Justice Partnerships

Health Justice Partnerships are collaborations between health services and organisations specialising in welfare rights.
Welfare rights advice is integrated with patient care, supporting people with issues such as welfare benefits, debt, housing and employment.
Health Justice Partnerships tackle social and economic circumstances that are strongly harmful to health and are root causes of health inequality.
