Dear Friend I am pleased to attach the May 2006 edition of the NHS Wales Patient Equality Monitoring newsletter (English and Welsh language versions). Many NHS Wales organisations are making good progress towards mainstreaming the collection of patient ethnicity data, and planning the introduction of disability monitoring in line with the new Public Sector Duty. Your support in encouraging these organisations to keep up their energy and activity in this area will be greatly appreciated. I will be grateful for any thoughts you might have. I hope you find the newsletter interesting, and will be pleased to discuss any aspects of the Project with you. With best wishes Paul Paul Keeping NHS Wales Patient Equality Monitoring Project Manager Mobile: 07815 578694 www.wales.nhs.uk/equality <http://www.wales.nhs.uk/equality> (click "Patient Equality Monitoring")
