Abstract:	This article summarises what the Department of Health's (2005) Delivering Race Equality (DRE) agenda in mental health services set out to achieve and the background to this. The article then provides commentary on the Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust's experiences while acting as one of the 18 focused implementation sites (FIS) created as part of the Department of Health's five-year Delivering Race Equality Action Plan and highlights the recommendations that developed out of this work and have national application.
