The PPG is composed of eight lay members and five general
practitioner members. Its lay Chairman, acts as an observer at
Council meetings to ensure that relevant issues are discussed at
the Group. The Chair is supported by a Medical Vice-Chair and a Lay

Lay Members
The lay members of the PPG are appointed following

appointing people with varied backgrounds and experience. Lay
members contribute to the PPG from a patient's viewpoint and are
not appointed to be representative of any organisation.
