title: Ethnic minority health. Restricted access.
abstract: A survey of health authorities and primary care groups with high ethnic minority populations in England showed HAs were further advanced in addressing the special needs of ethnic minorities than PCGs. More than three-quarters of HAs cited initiatives for ethnic minorities compared with only 36 per cent of PCGs. Only a minority of organisations reported schemes to address health inequalities. Commissioning organisations covering large communities of people from ethnic minorities should do more to address their special health needs.
