There already is, and calls for a public inquiry. They should have a public inquiry into sickle cell anemia while they are at it, that one is racist too.
Anyone who engages brain (and maybe does a bit of reading) can see that there are obvious reasons for the link (and no, it's not poverty - BAME doctors, consultants, are over represented too, hardly in the lower socio-economic groups).

Odd that no one is calling for a public inquiry into why men are twice as likely to die as women though isn't it?
