PHAST worked with St Mungo's to develop their Health Strategy for Homeless People 2008 - 2011. St Mungo’s have an established reputation for engaging with, accommodating and treating some of the most vulnerable individuals in society. They recognised that the current changes to the statutory health and local authority sectors, in terms of structure, function and funding made it an ideal time to procure better healthcare for their residents.
PHAST worked with St Mungo's to integrate their physical health strategy, the draft mental health strategy, the alcohol strategy and the drugs strategy into one coherent health document which included a service model for healthcare in hostels. The outcome was a strategy which reflects their long experience and track record of innovation, and is both practical and ambitious.
