Abstract:<\/b><\/span>
It is only recently that public involvement has become a key part of healthcare practice and some form of public involvement is almost universally adopted throughout health research systems internationally. However, although it is widely recognised that public involvement is important by a wide range of different groups, from activists and patient groups, professional organisations to government bodies, within this broad endorsement there are a host of unresolved issues. What is the overriding justification and value base of public involvement? How do we adjudicate between different justifications and rationales for public involvement? What is the central function of the public contributor and how do or should they contribute to decision-making? This paper will consider the ethical and legal dimensions of these issues and how these, possibly, competing rationales for public involvement might affect the assessment of these activities.<\/p>\n
