This report is an overview of the evidence on inequalities in access to health services.
It includes information on the type of population groups and their demographic or socioeconomic characteristics identified in secondary research literature as associated with an inequality in access to a range of different healthcare settings. Where possible, an attempt was made to identify population characteristics with delayed diagnosis and delayed linking to specialist care following diagnosis (i.e., referral) as well as to extract data that are relevant in the UK setting.
