Over the past 3 years the number of homeless people in the UK has increased by 34%. Most will die young, largely due to treatable conditions. Secondary care can, and must, do more for the silent killer that homelessness is.
在过去三年里,英国无家可归者的数量增加了34%。大多数人会英年早逝,主要是因为一些可治疗的疾病。二级医疗保健能够而且必须为无家可归这一隐性杀手做更多的工作。
