St Mungo's health strategy

Many homeless people turn to alcohol and drugs to cope with physical and mental health problems. St Mungo's recognised this and launched a new health strategy in 2008.

We piloted a range of new initiatives:

• Each hostel has staff specifically responsible for clients' health problems
• Significantly improved access to health professionals, including GPs and nurses
• We made an impact in the political arena, making the Government take notice
