38. Mr. Chaytor

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what action he is taking to tackle racism in the NHS. [13847]

Mr. Milburn

We announced a programme of concrete measures to tackle inequality, discrimination and racism in the National Health Service in recent speeches made to Unison on 7 October and to NHS leaders at the launch of the Commission for Racial Equality's "Leadership Challenge" in the NHS on 21 October. We have also put extra funding of £200,000 into specific activities to combat racism.
