We commissioned an Equalities Review prior to consultation. This work was
to the required level to support the JCPCT’s decision to proceed to
consultation. This pre-consultation work outlined a number of areas for further
consideration.
We subsequently undertook focused sub-group analysis during the post
consultation period to ascertain the specific impacts on protected groups. Out
of this work we developed an action plan for the implementation phase. All of
this work is described in this document.

e.g. Is there a link
between deprivation
and need for proximity

We are not aware of evidence to support links between deprivation and the
need for additional emergency services. However, the proposals were
developed to minimise the impacts on access by ensuring a geographical
distribution of the proposed major hospital sites. Critically, work to develop
community services (where there is evidence that deprived communities
need additional services) will ensure appropriate access for local populations.
We have developed proposals that seek to minimise access implications.

Literature review:
Appendix E
Post consultation we undertook a literature review to ascertain the latest
available evidence regarding any links between deprivation and need for
proximity of access to acute care.
We also extended the scope of our equalities work to include deprivation.
