Hearing patient and public voices

Tim GillingDeputy Executive DirectorCentre for Public Scrutiny

Re-defining relationships

“We believe that many of the White Paper proposals provide opportunities to fundamentally redefine relationships and behaviours between:

professionals, patients and carers (e.g. through shared decision-making) commissioners and providers (e.g. through shifting the balance of power

and capacity to change the status quo) commissioners, providers and communities (e.g. through involvement and influence) commissioners, providers and councillors (e.g. through political leadership

and scrutiny)”
