FFT has been working on behalf of Gypsies and Travellers since 1994 and

ur organisation has broad support within the Travelling communities.

We are a membership organisation and many of our members are Travellers, or have children and grandchildren who travel. We are a registered charity governed by a Board of eight Trustees, four of whom are or have been Travellers. We are the only national charity that provides support to all Gypsies, Travellers and Roma, regardless of ethnicity, culture or background.

2011 Census and the NHS Data Dictionary

‘Gypsy/Traveller’ was included in the 2011 Census for

the first time

The NHS Data dictionary has not yet been updated to

include ‘Gypsy Traveller’

This lack of inclusion significantly impedes the ability of

CCGs to identify inequalities in access to services and health outcome
