Looks at what is being done to bring pressure upon SSDs to take the issue seriously: workers at Huddersfield disability unit have been funded by the Home Office to work specifically with ethnic communities and disability and they report to Kirklees SSD on a regular basis and Hammersmith & Fulham SSD have appointed specialist Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia workers to provide information and carry out various activities which include awareness training to the black community and running support groups.
