THE NHS is “failing” people from ethnic minority backgrounds, according to England’s most extensive study of the issue.
Unfairness in NHS services is exacerbating health inequalities, with people from some ethnic minority groups more likely to report insufficient support from local services, the study from the University of Manchester revealed last night.
In 15 out of 17 ethnic minority groups, health-related quality of life was worse on average than for white British people, with inequalities generally wider for women, the study found.
