abstract = {BACKGROUND: The disproportionate burden of COVID-19 on ethnic minority populations has recently highlighted the necessity of maintaining accessible, routinely collected, ethnicity data within healthcare services. Despite 25 years of supportive legislation and policy in the UK, ethnicity data recording remains inconsistent, which has hindered needs assessment, evaluation and decision-making. We describe efforts to improve the completeness, quality and usage of ethnicity data within our regional health board, NHS Lothian.},
