Description

The editors of this volume argue, on the basis of research, that progress, albeit slow, is being made in the development of health and social care services for clients from minority ethnic groups within Scotland. They also maintain that it is the responsibility of researchers to continue their work so as to increase the momentum for change under continuous scrutiny.
