Recommendation (the committee's words)
It is clear from the evidence collected by Government, the NHS and other organisations that staff from Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic in a way that has shone a light on deeply worrying divisions in society. Both the Public Health England and BAME Communities Advisory Group reports set out a series of actions to address this problem. We recommend that the Department set out how it plans to implement those recommendations, with a corresponding timeframe.
