Are you experienced?

National statistics on the self-reported experience of patients in black and minority ethnic (BME) groups were released on 10 June. The data, based on the National Patient Survey programme output, shows that people from BME groups were more likely to report a negative experience (or "less likely to report a positive experience," as the DoH press release puts it) than white patients. Differences were most marked in the primary care survey and least in the mental health survey.
