Dear Louise Gormley (0161 923 6311),
Thank you for your response.
To clarify, does the GMC put all non-white members into a single
"BME" category or do you break this information down by the
different ethnicities ?
In the event that you do break the data down, could you provide the
complete breakdown so it is clear which ethnicities are represented
and which are less represented?
Thank you,
Yours sincerely,
Z. Hussain
