NHS Trafford has produced an equality data summary in order to provide an overview of how it is responding to the Equality Duty.
The primary care trust (PCT) recognises the importance of equality analysis as outlined by the Equality and Human Rights Commission in 'Vol.2 Equality Analysis and the equality duty: a guide for public authorities'. In order to fulfil these guidance requirements and further demonstrate compliance with the Equality Duty, the PCT has developed new Equality Assessments Tools and Guidance. These new tools will be launched in February 2012 and staff will trained in their usage.

The PCT recognises the need to enhance and systematise equality, diversity and human rights (EDHR) principles and the Equality Duty requirements throughout the commissioning cycle. To support this work, the PCT is piloting a commissioning equality analysis tool that provides a process and prompts to ensure commissioners consider and include EDHR PCGs issues. NHS Trafford is working collaboratively with the cluster, NHS Greater Manchester, and has developed EDHR contract specifications to support a more consistent Greater Manchester EDHR approach for commissioner and provider partner organisations.
