- Author:
- JOHNSON Mark R.D.
- Journal article citation:

- Publisher:
- Sage
Discusses the results of an audit by the physical disability team of all current cases on the register of a metropolitan district occupational therapy office. The ethnic origin, language and religion of clients was established from the records by direct enquiry. An analysis performed of presenting problems, services response and response times demonstrated that there were significant variations between ethnic groups in the use made of the service. No evidence was found of a systematic bias against the interests of ethnic minority groups in general, but a number or questions were raised. In particular, Asian clients were more likely to be referred by certain channels, to require major works and to wait longer for action. Offers recommendations to be considered in future service planning.
