Health written question – answered at on 7 March 2007.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health which individuals participated in the peer review of the report which her Department commissioned to look at international experiences of implementing community treatment orders; and what criteria were used for their selection.
holding answer
The Department's policy research programme considers peer reviewers' completed responses confidential and so it would be inappropriate to release individual names.
The Department selected three peer reviewers, two from the United Kingdom and one outside the UK. The criteria used for the selection of peer reviewers are as follows:
highly qualified in the area that they are being asked to review—including a strong track record of publication in the field; recognised authority in the subject area; have current or recent relevant active research experience; and have expertise in research methods, for example, in this case a systematic review.
