Polish welfare problems addressed
The welfare of Gloucestershire's growing Polish community is being discussed this weekend.

It follows concerns that the county's 10,000 Polish residents may not be getting access to doctors, dentists or other services they need.

Sunday's meeting at the city's Barton and Tredworth Community Trust will bring together health and social care experts to address the problems.

Bren McInerny from the trust said the aim was to build on current knowledge.

"Hopefully, one of the outcomes will be about [combining] what we know, what we don't know and taking some proactive steps to make sure Gloucestershire is, and remains, ahead of the game on this," he said.
