Abstract: This article reports the findings from a review of all the English health R&D policy documents published between 1991 and 2010. The aim was to find out what evidence had been used to support the policy shift towards greater patient and public involvement (PPI) in health R&D over the last 20 years. The review showed that much of the policy promoting PPI was developed before evidence of the impact of PPI became available. This indicates that the policy is not truly ‘evidence-based’ and that another model of policy development must explain how this came about. Further research is needed to identify the factors that contributed to this development.
