Making sure people seeking and refused asylum can access health care: what needs to change?

This research explores the experiences of people who are currently or have been in the asylum process in Britain, as well as engaging with health care professionals and analysing existing research. It finds that cost and fears about how they will be treated, or consequences for their immigration status, are preventing people who are seeking or have been refused asylum from using health services. It calls for greater separation of the immigration and health care systems.
