To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first national study to examine ethnic inequalities in continuity of care using GP records. The study found that relational continuity of care was lower for people from Black African, Black Caribbean, any other Black background, Bangladeshi, and Pakistani ethnic groups. These ethnic inequalities are not accounted for by socioeconomic deprivation and are seen for people with and without multiple long-term conditions.
