Why we might ask about ethnicity
Our staff may ask you about your ethnicity, culture, language, religion and traditions. This is to help us to understand the needs of patients and parents, carers and families.
You do not have to tell us this information, but if you do, it will help us improve the services we provide so that we can treat everyone equally and fairly.
