Hello
I am undertaking a project to explore the relative low numbers of BME
elders that access our intermediate care services.
Could any of the list members give me guidance on which communities should
be categorised as BME, as I have been informed by one organisation that :
• White British
• White Irish
• White other
Are not included yet practitioners report that Eastern Europeans and other
Europeans are usually categorised under White Other rather than Other
ethnic group.
My dilemma is that in Bradford we have a small but significant elderly
Eastern European community and feel that they should also be included in
the project but there is no defined category (locally) that reflects this.
I would appreciate your thoughts and comments
