percentage increases have occurred from 2001 to 2007 (from Table 36) for each ward
by broad BME group 77 . For instance, the percentage of residents who were Asian or
British Asian was 0.78% from the 2001 Census (Table 34), but had increased to an
estimated 2.18% by 2007 (Table 36). Therefore, it is estimated that the percentage of
Asians or British Asians increased by 178% between 2001 and 2007 in Hull. From
Table 34, it was estimated at the time of the 2001 Census that 0.3% of residents in
Bransholme East were Asians or British Asians, so it is estimated that this increased by
178% to 0.5% for 2007. It was further assumed that if a patient who was registered with
a specific general practice lived in Bransholme East, then they have a 0.5% chance of
being Asian or British Asian. The ward level calculation was undertaken for both Hull
and East Riding of Yorkshire as around 10% of patients registered with Hull GPs live in
East Riding of Yorkshire 78 . This calculation was completed for each of the BME groups
used in the model for all practice patients to obtain the ethnicity distribution at practice
level.
It was further assumed that the distribution of BME groups was the same over the
different age groups and genders. This assumption is unlikely to be the case (given the
findings of the BME Health and Lifestyle Survey 2007 – summary and full reports
available at www.hullpublichealth.org), but it is unlikely to make a great deal of
difference to the model, because the overall numbers of the different BME groups in Hull
are relatively low.
From this information, it was possible to provide an estimate of the number of men and
women for each age group who were White, Mixed or Other BME groups combined,
Asian or British Asian, and Black or Black British for each general practice in Hull as at
October 2010.
The resulting estimates from the model are given in Table 273.

The modelling undertaken in the Diabetes Equity Audit (www.hullpublichealth.org) used ONS BME
estimates for mid-year 2004.

Patients whose postcode fell outside these areas were excluded from the BME weighted average
calculation, but the numbers would have been very small and it is unlikely that their BME status is different
to those within Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire so it is anticipated that the weighted estimates would not
have change very much at all with their inclusion. Patients living outside Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire
were still included in the overall numbers of patients at the practice though.
