CENTRE FOR HEALTH AND THE PUBLIC INTEREST (CHPI) Information

An independent non-party think tank aiming to set out a vision of health and social care policy based on accountability and the public interest. -- The Centre for Health and the Public Interest (CHPI) began operation in June 2013 as a dynamic health and social care policy think-tank committed to the founding principles of the NHS. The primary focus of the Centre is to ensure that the public interest is given paramount importance in the development and discussion of health and social care policy. It subjects current policy to careful, evidence-based critical scrutiny, and explores alternative solutions to the challenges of providing universal high quality health and social care, based on promoting greater democratic determination and accountability in the organisation and delivery of health and social care emphasizing the importance of probity, integrity and transparency in health policy making focussing strongly on the social determinants of health and well being. The Centre’s approach is UK-wide and aims to learn from developments within and across the 4 countries of the UK, and in other countries.
