4 Please help us by providing information about your ethnic group Why we are collecting information about your ethnic group. Everyone belongs to an ethnic group, so all our patients are being asked to describe their ethnic group. We are collecting this information to help the NHS and social services to: Understand the needs of patients and service users from different groups and so provide better and more appropriate service for you Identify risk factors some groups are more at risk of specific diseases and care needs, so ethnic group data can help treat patients and support service users by alerting staff to high risk groups Improve public health by making sure that our services are reaching all of our local communities and that we are delivering our services fairly to everyone who needs them Comply with the law as the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000 gives public authorities a duty to promote race equality and good race relations, and ethnic monitoring is important in making sure that race discrimination is not taking place. The 16 ethnic groups used are standard categories for collecting ethnic group information. Using these codes will help us to compare information about the groups using our services with information from the census which tells us about our local population. The list of groups is designed to allow most people to identify themselves. The list is not intended to leave out any groups of people, but to keep the collection of ethnic information simple. It is important to us that you are able to describe your own ethnic group. If you need to complete any of the boxes labelled any other group, then please give some details so that we can better understand your needs. You do not have to complete the question but providing this information is very important. It will help us with diagnosis and assessment of your needs, and it will also help us to plan and improve our service. The information you provide will be treated as part of your confidential NHS record. The NHS and social services have strict standards regarding data protection, and your information will be carefully safeguarded. This information will be added to your medical record. If you do not wish to provide this, please tick the Information refused box at the end of the list. Name... Date of Birth Ethnic origin (please tick the description which you feel is most appropriate) White - British White - Irish Other White background Mixed White and Black Caribbean Mixed White and Black African Mixed White and Asian Other mixed background Asian or Asian British - Indian Asian or Asian British - Pakistani Asian or Asian British - Bangadeshi Other Asian background Black or Black British - Caribbean Black or Black British - African Other Black background Chinese Other ethnic background Information refused If you have any concerns or questions regarding this request, or you want to make any comments or complaints about the collection of this information, or the way in which you have been treated by staff requesting this information, please contact the practice manager.
