- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he is taking steps to ensure that his Department's data collection records the experiences of people from Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller backgrounds.
- Answer
-
The NHS Data Model and Dictionary reflects the latest approved Information Standard for the data submission of ethnicity categories in the National Health Service. This is derived from the Office for National Statistics’ categories in 2001, which do not include Gypsy/Romany Gypsy, Roma, and Irish Traveller groupings.
The annual GP Patient Survey assesses patients' experience of general practice and dentistry in England. It collects ethnicity information, including coding for ‘Roma’ and ‘Gypsy or Irish Traveller’ respondents. In the 2022 survey, NHS England received 719,137 responses and of those, 596 were from Roma and 279 were from Gypsy or Irish Traveller respondents.
