| Annotation | This article explains why providers and purchasers of health care should improve their understanding of the needs of ethnic elders from the Indian subcontinent. The author suggests that employing staff from predominating ethnic minority groups would improve access to health and social services. The statutory providers of care must not make false assumptions that family care will suffice; nor must they fall into the trap of thinking that 'no use of services implies no need of services.'. |
