2005
At the 2005 Annual Meeting it was agreed that it would be useful to survey INAHTA members to obtain information on what they do and what they avoid in involving patients in the HTA process. The term ‘consumers’ was taken to include patients, carers, long – term users of services, organizations representing consumers’ interests, and members of the public.
