Eleven A4 sheets, printed one side, black, green and maroon on white with coloured illustrations. Copy of a presentation made by Dr Justin Varney, Public Health England's National Lead for Adults and Older People's Health on 23 July 2014, and described on the first page as "the first in a series of minority health frameworks". It gives an overview of the mental and physical health issues that particularly and disproportionately impact on these groups of LGBTQ+ people, in particular HIV and sexually transmitted diseases, but also wider issues such as smoking, drinking and drug use. It sets out some planned actions Public Health England intend to take. Public Health England was abolished in 2021, with some of it's responsibilities transferring to the UK Health Security Agency and others to the Department for Health and Social Care.
