Health services should not be colour-blind or ethnicity-blind. Service providers need to be aware of any differences in need between ethnic groups as well as between genders, age groups, and so on. There will be a greatly increased number of older people among minority ethnic groups in Britain in the next 10-20 years. This article reviews some of the reasons why this is a challenge to the health and care services.
