NHS body in England urges minority ethnic people to fill out census

Completing survey is vital to ensure access to health and care services, says Race and Health Observatory

An independent NHS body is urging black and minority ethnic communities to complete this year's national census survey to help capture a more accurate picture of the overall health condition of households across England.

The independent NHS Race and Health Observatory has called on minority ethnic communities to complete the online survey sent by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) by Sunday 21 March, or shortly after.
