Planning for emergencies involving blast injured patients: Equality impact assessment

This Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA) sets out the current inequalities in the planning for emergencies involving blast injured patients, and actions to reduce and eliminate these inequalities.  It then assesses the policies set out in the planning guidance for the differing impact they could conceivably have on different population groups. These groups are defined as Age, Disability, Gender, Race, Religion or Belief and Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity.
