The information is not available in the format requested. The Government provided an additional £3 million for refugees arriving under the Afghanistan Relocations and Assistance Policy scheme to access healthcare and register with a general practitioner. This funding is facilitating an enhanced health assessment, including mental health needs, trauma and any safeguarding concerns.
