Black and minority ethnic people are experiencing declining health and poorer NHS and social care provision, according to a report from charity the Afiya Trust.
The report, based on interviews with 500 people, showed that while people from minority groups often experienced worse health, they sometimes also received less treatment.
There is still a North-South divide on health in England despite attempts to promote wellbeing for all, according to figures published today.
New funding allocations which favour areas of extreme deprivation will see some clinical commissioning groups receive cash growth of up to 15 per cent next year, with others receiving increases of less than 5 per cent.
We need to consider alternative models of health delivery that focus on addressing the place based social determinants of poor health aided by the development of mechanisms to ensure effective coordination between multiple agencies and stakeholders, writes Charlotte Alldritt
