STRENGTHENING ACCOUNTABILITY
Department of Health February 2003 ... 22 pages Foreword by: David Lammy, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Health 'Involving and consulting' has a particular meaning in the context of Section 11. It means discussing with patients and the public their ideas, your plans, their experiences, why services need to change, what they want from services, how to make the best use of resources and so on. It is more about changing attitudes within the NHS and the way the NHS works than laying down rules for procedures. |
