HEALTHCARE COMMISSION

Count me in 2008. Results of the 2008 national census of inpatients in mental health and learning disability services in England and Wales (27th November 2008)
The findings from the fourth annual census of the ethnicity of inpatients in mental health and learning disability services continue to show that some black and minority ethnic groups are three or more times more likely than average to be admitted as inpatients in mental health services. As a result, the report calls for healthcare providers, local authorities and other statutory agencies to work together to prevent and better manage mental illness in black and minority ethnic groups.
