Department of Health: Launch of NHS Constitutional Advisory Forum

28 August 2008
A group of leading health figures will advise the Department of Health on how to most effectively engage people in the consultation process for the NHS Constitution, Health Minister and Joint Chair Ivan Lewis announced today.
The Constitutional Advisory Forum (CAF), which includes representatives from the NHS, local government, the third sector and other organisations, will engage with the public, staff and stakeholders throughout the summer before presenting its final report to the Secretary of State for Health later in the year.
The draft Constitution was published on 30 June 2008 and aims to enshrine the principles and values of the NHS for the future. It has been developed as part of Lord Darzi's review of the NHS and the views of NHS staff and patients have contributed to the draft Constitution.
