New review calls for radical action on stark ethnic inequalities across healthcare
“Some of the largest inequalities were found for mental healthcare where treatment for Black groups was particularly poor, finds the new report by the NHS Race and Health Observatory co-authored by Dr. Laia Becares in the University’s School of Education and Social Work.
The review also found there was a lack of research into specific areas including how outcomes may differ for ethnic minority babies in neonatal healthcare settings, where just one study was found to investigate health disparities in the care of ethnic minority new-born babies.”
