NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement

Mr. Lansley
To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the citizen and patient representatives on the board of the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement.

Dawn Primarolo
The citizen and patient representative on the board of the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement is Professor Tony Butterworth (non-executive Director).

A number of approaches have been adopted to enable stakeholders to influence the work of the NHS Institute including an involvement framework that sets out its commitment to working with patients and the public.

As part of this framework the NHS Institute has invited key stakeholders, patient representatives, voluntary sector representatives and NHS Institute staff to meet as an "Involvement Think Tank' to help it take the involvement agenda forward.
