Indirect discrimination.
Two Roma families from Romania contacted the FSG office in Ali-
cante because they were not being treated properly by the staff at their local health centre.
The families claimed that the staff made it difficult for them to make appointments and the families especially
stressed that they were faced with many obstacles when they went to the health centre with their young
children.
The Department looked into the matter and then called the health centre on the phone to inform them of the
applicable regulation regarding the right to health-care for children and pregnant women and the rights that
these people have to receive health-care.
The families were given the same information with a view to avoiding these problems in the future.
