Dr Martin JonesChairBristol CCG “Migrant Health is a high priority for GPs in Bristol and Bristol CCG welcomes the Migrant Health Needs Assessment for Bristol.  We are keen to see the recommendations translated into action, and this work is being taken forward by the Migrant Health Implementation Group. The first priorities will be to ensure that existing specialist services are properly resourced and to strengthen migrant health expertise within primary care.”
