Health authorities. Raising the stakes.
A survey of 25 health authorities found user groups, professional forums, newsletters, complaint scheme, roadshows and focus groups the most extensive means of consultations. The majority of health authorities had identified the parties to be consulted over strategic planning. The results suggested that consultation is being used more for service planning than strategic purposes. Many health authorities plan to include police and fire services, the media, unions and the private sector and schools in consultations.
