Black and Minority communities. Such policies include the
Kingston Primary Care Trust Annual Delivery Programme, South
West London Health Authority Health Improvement Plan and
the NHS Plan.

upon Thames, Kingston Hospital Trust and others is developing
a local interpreting and translation service to meet the
linguistic and communication needs of the communities.
KREC facilitates participation in decision making in delivery
of health services by encouraging providers to involve Black
and Minority community members at all stages of the process
and to consult these communities as stakeholders.
