Equality impact assessment
To ensure everyone can benefit regardless of their characteristics or where they access care, we completed an Equality Impact Assessment. This highlights key equality issues that were considered and any actions we took in relation to them. A copy of our Equality Impact Assessment is available here: RHIC Equality Impact Assessment.
