title: Migration. Foreign affairs.
abstract: Many in the NHS are unwilling to discuss migrant matters, possibly for fear of being thought racist--or because they do not have accurate data. The allocation system to PCTs may be inadequate in areas where there is rapid population growth. Differences in language, health needs and lifestyle between ethnic groups are challenging the NHS.
