§ Mr. SwayneTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what action he is taking in response to the report of the Commission for Racial Equality about the treatment of ethnic minority people in Wales. [62528]
Mr. Jon Owen JonesA Survey of current Secondary Health Care Practice was prepared by the NHS Wales Equality Unit in partnership with the Commission for Racial Equality. I attended the launch of the report on 30 November 1998 and gave the Department's support to its recommendation that health care should be accessible, fair and without disadvantage. Welsh Office officials will be meeting the Commission for Racial Equality to consider the issues further.
