User, patient and public involvement have all gained high priority in public policy and services. The Calman Hine Report in 1995 paved the way for user involvement in palliative care by recommending that cancer ser- vices should be patient-centered (Department of Health 1995). The National Health Service Cancer Plan (Ramsey & Blieszner, 1999) encourages user involvement in the context of recognizing the quality of cancer services as a national priority. There is a broader emphasis on patient/carer experiences and satisfaction with services. The UK government has established a Commission on Patient and Public Involvement for the NHS, headed by a 'participation czar'. In 2003, the government established a major NHS consultation - Choice, Responsiveness and Equity in the NHS and Social Care - which placed a specific emphasis on patient and user involvement and which directly involved service users in eight officially appointed task groups, including one focusing on long-term conditions, which addressed palliative care issues (Aday, 2005).
