Equality Impact Assessment
Equality Impact Assessments (EIAs) are our chosen method of ensuring that when we write strategies, policies, care pathways or projects, that we have considered the actual or possible impact of the work that we do on different populations. We consider the impact on gender (including transgender), different ethnic groups, disabled people (including mental health challenges and learning disabilities), sexual orientation, religion and belief, whether someone is a carer, social deprivation, and age. We also think about whether the piece of work might impinge on anyone’s human rights.
EIAs are being built into the Commissioning cycle so that the contracts that we have with our providers will include specific targets around equality where particular issues have been highlighted. These targets will be monitored in the same way as any other targets.
EIAs can help us to identify where services need to be delivered or whether particular ethnic groups need to be targeted for preventative services for instance.

- Commissioning
Process by which the health needs of the local population are identified. Priorities for investment are set and appropriate services are purchased and evaluated. Primary Care Trusts do not provide all of the healthcare services needed by the local population, they buy-in or commission services from other provider organisations. Typically this includes local hospitals.
