title: Abolition? It's nothing personal. Interview by Nick Edwards.
abstract: The Commission for Patient and Public Involvement in Health was the victim of a 'political decision' and was not given the opportunity to prove itself, according to chief executive Steve Lowden. He also defended the 'courageous' decision to set up a network of not-for-profit forum support organisations, which some criticised for underfunding forums themselves.
