Abstract

The UK is a high-income country with a publicly funded mental health-care system, which is free at the point of use. The UK's National Health Service (NHS), like other public bodies, is legally obliged to ensure fair and equal services. However, ethnic inequalities remain established in most aspects of mental health care in the UK. 1 Black and minority ethnic (BME) people do not do as well as the white majority in any aspect of mental health care and, generally, they fare much worse.
