ODS Consulting were commissioned to produce independent research on the future requirements and possibilities for public involvement in health and social care. This research was shaped by a reference group which comprised representatives from the NHS, local authority, the third sector, the Scottish Government, COSLA, lay members as well as the Scottish Health Council. The report sets out the findings from the research and is accompanied by a separate "think piece" which develops the issues and gives further consideration to the options and possibilities for public involvement in health and social care.
