Annotation	The CNEOPSA Project - Care Needs of Ethnic Older Persons with Alzheimer's - was designed to provide a map of the current and future direction of dementia care for minority ethnic older people. The Project has been transnational in focus (UK, France, Denmark, Finland, and the Netherlands). The Policy Research Institute on Ageing and Ethnicity (PRIAE) has led the Project, with support from the European Commission (EC). In this second of three articles on the Project's findings, the problem of institutional racism is is examined. The author argues that care for black and minority ethnic (BME) elders requires root and branch policy changes. A guarded welcome is given to the Secretary of State for Health, Alan Milburn, and his proposals for modernising the NHS. (RH).
