HL Deb 23 April 2004 vol 660 cc67-8WA
Earl Howe

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What plans there are to list all patient and public involvement forums and their respective points of contact on the website of the Commission for Patient and Public Involvement in Health; why this is not done at present; and why on the website not all forum support organisations have a contact telephone number or e-mail address. [HL2365]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health (Lord Warner)

A full list of patients' forums and the organisations that support them is already available on the Commission for Patient and Public Involvement in Health (CPPIH) website. The website includes contact details and addresses for each forum support organisation. The CPPIH is in the process of updating this information and verifying further details such as telephone numbers and email addresses and will put them on the website as soon as they are available. Copies will also be placed in the Library.
