NHS Rotherham Clinical Commissioning Group : Rotherham Safe Space Service

In September 2020 NHS England published the advancing-mental-health-equalities-strategy which reiterates that :

• Different groups access services differently, with underrepresentation in some services and overrepresentation in others. This is an inequality in access.
• Different groups report having different levels of satisfaction with the healthcare they receive. This is an inequality in experience.
• Different groups receiving the same treatment also have different recovery outcomes. This is an inequality in outcomes.
