Any barriers to care?

Ahmed S Huda   (26 July 2007)

Any barriers to care? 26 July 2007
Ahmed S Huda, Consultant Psychiatrist Early Intervention Team, Pennine Care Trust Send letter to journal: Re: Any barriers to care? ahmed.huda{at}penninecare.nhs.uk Ahmed S Huda	Newham is one of the most ethnically diverse areas of the UK. I notice that of the 49 cases receiving therapy, 71% were white, 16% black, 8% asian and 4% other. I wondered how this compared with your catchment population? What factors may have affected the diffrence? Were clinicians less likely to refer non-white clients or were these clients less likely to be offered the treatment or to accept it?
