New arrivals in North East England: mapping migrant health and NHS delivery

North East England is the smallest and least diverse of the nine English regions. Since 1999 it has received more than ten thousand asylum seekers, several thousand migrant workers; and growing numbers of overseas students. The North East Public Health Observatory (NEPHO) commissioned this report in 2007, in the light of the increasing range of migrant groups and following NHS changes. The report describes who the North East's new arrivals are, the numbers that have arrived since the late 1990s, the areas in which they are living and the regional infrastructure there to support them. It considers their health needs, current service provision and commissioning arrangements.
