This chart compares the percentage of children in each ethnic group who are eligible for free school meals (2007).
Eligibility for free school meals is an indicator of deprivation, and people who suffer more deprivation tend to have
poorer health. Comparing deprivation by ethnic group helps identify potential health inequalities between groups.
