| Annotation | The Social Services Strategy Group in Tower Hamlets commissioned this report, to evaluate the quality and quantity of "community care" services delivered to minority ethnic groups in the borough. This paper presents a summary of the major findings of phase one of that research, which found an extremely low uptake of use of residential, day and domiciliary care, and a very low rate of use of occupational therapy. The study provides evidence to show that the reasons for low use of services lie with the providers' inability to meet the specific needs of the 37% of the population who are of minority ethnic origin in Tower Hamlets. Services are not being used, because they are irrelevant, inappropriate, and perhaps inaccessible; and there are low numbers of minority ethnic staff employed in the statutory sector. (RH). |
