The North East and Yorkshire Asylum Seeker and Health Oversight Group have shared an asylum health flowchart for initial contingency accommodation.
The flowchart provides a template which can be adapted to suit local need and is designed to support stakeholders to ensure there is a clear process for communications around health and the use of contingency accommodation.
This group has representation from the Home Office, Strategic Migration Partnerships, Mears, PHE, NHSEI, CCG, LA public health, LA migration and Bevan Healthcare. Agencies have committed to following this flowchart (or a locally adapted one) to ensure the health needs of those seeking asylum are met.
The document will be regularly updated, the most up-to-date version will be available on the Y&H Public Health Network site.
