Homelessness Health Services

If you are homeless or staying in temporary accomodation you can use the specialist homelessness health services based at Hunter Street. These services will help you while you need support during homelessness crisis and then help you move on to using community-based services when it is appropriate. See the Emergency Health Care section of this website for details.  More information is also available on the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Homeless Health and Resources website.

Community-Based Health Services

Being homeless does not affect your right to receive health services in the same way as everyone else within your community. Community-based services are now delivered by a seperate Community Health and Care Partnership (CHCP) for five different areas of Glasgow. You should get the health services you require through your local community-based services.

The links below will help you find out which CHCP area you are in:

• North
• South-East
• South-West
• East
• West
