The first national statistics on the self-reported experience of patients in black and minority ethnic groups, produced by the Department of Health and the Healthcare Commission, were released on 22 May 2008 according to the arrangements approved by the UK Statistics Authority.

This publication examines variations in the self-reported views of NHS patients from different ethnic groups across a range of healthcare settings, and the work was undertaken jointly by the Department of Health and the Healthcare Commission. Results include data from the national surveys of patients published by the Healthcare Commission up to and including 2006 to 2007.
