Abstract

Poverty may be defined narrowly as a lack of income, but is more usefully viewed asa multidimensional concept. I discuss some associations between poverty and health,identify groups with special needs, and describe some aspects of the government?s health policy which are relevant to those needs. Finally, I note the importance of ensuringthere is a more integrated approach in future.
