Abstract

User involvement is encouraged within the European Union (EU) within healthcare, most commonly in the form of patient choice. This has recently been further extended in relation to cross-border hospital care (1). The nature of user involvement, however, extends beyond the role of consumer choice to include that of the 'citizen' and of the 'co-producer' reflecting the reality that user involvement goes beyond choice of hospital to include issues surrounding future plans for health services within a region (10,11) and engaging patients in expert patient programmes (21).
