| Annotation | Are black and ethnic minority older people getting the care they really need? This article discusses two new reports about services offered, and which dispel the myth that ethnic groups look after their older family members. First, a Social Services Inspectorate (SSI) report, `They look after their own, don't they?' (Department of Health - DoH, 1998) reports on social services department provision for black and ethnic minority people in eight local authorities. The second, by Naina Patel and others, `Dementia and minority ethnic older people: managing care in the UK, Denmark and France' (Russell House, 1998), found a reluctance to seek or accept help, leading to inappropriate services being offered once a diagnosis had been made.
