There is 'overwhelming' evidence of poor outcomes for ethnic minority groups.

The review also found "strong evidence" of "clear, very large and persisting ethnic inequalities" in psychiatric wards, with higher rates of compulsory admission among minority groups.

It found that there was evidence of an ethnic pay gap affecting black, Asian, and mixed groups, and to a lesser extent, ethnic Chinese staff.
