Hello Francis
Attached is a copy of the questionnaire we use at Central Liverpool PCT to collect ethnicity. As you can see we collect ethnic group alongside of other relevant information such as country of birth and spoken & read language.
We Use the 16 categories from the 2001 census plus two others. Central Liverpool PCT have large numbers of patients from both Somali and Yemeni ethnic groups. We have had problems with the READ coding for these two groups. In the last six months we have identified a READ code for Somali ethnic group but are still struggling to obtain a code for Yemeni ethnic group. At present we are using a local code for this information otherwise we would loose it under the category Other. We continue to press for this READ code.
