Do members of minority ethnic groups experience equity of access to cancer services in the SW London Cancer Network?
Peter Aspinall
The NHS Cancer Plan draws attention to the inequity of access to cancer services for members of minority ethnic groups, according importance to such matters as culturally-seusitive information
and different approaches to giving information. The Department of Health's latest Cancer
Services: Update states that 'to improve the experience of patients from an ethnic background' is a
significant area of risk within the development of cancer services. Again, improving access and
providing information and more informed choice to ethnic minority communities is identified as a
priority.
