A/HRC/4/9/Add.2 page 25 (b) The Government should remedy gaps in current legislation leading to housing rights violations against minorities.

The Independent Expert also made recommendations regarding other social services: (a) An independent investigation into the functioning of child protection services should be undertaken to enforce national guidelines and criteria, and effective mechanisms to regulate and monitor child protection services at the local level; (b) Urgent steps are required to ensure adequate coverage by general medical practitioners, and to address the current serious shortfall in the number of general practitioners, particularly working in disadvantaged and rural Roma settlements and with Roma communities; (c) Adequate provision of a network of qualified social workers, including via recruitment and training of Roma and those experienced in Roma issues should be undertaken urgently as an essential measure to ensure full knowledge of, and access to, key social and health services and benefits for Roma communities; (d) A government-sponsored publicity campaign using appropriate media should be conducted as required to assist in the process of raising public awareness of services and benefits particularly to disadvantaged Roma communities. Collection and use of disaggregated data 100. In terms of collection and use of disaggregated data, the Independent Expert makes the following recommendations: (a) The collection of data disaggregated by ethnic group as well as along gender lines is recommended as an essential means of revealing the full extent of social and economic problems experienced by different ethnic groups, and to assisting in the development of appropriate and effective policy and practice; (b) The Government should undertake confidence-building and awareness-raising measures amongst the Roma, and other minority groups, to promote participation in voluntary data collection, including census registration, and allay fears that data collection will be used as a further means of continuing discrimination. -----
