The Commission for Patient and Public Involvement in Health (CPPIH) was an independent, non-departmental public body sponsored by the UK Department of Health.[1][2] The Commission was established by and act of Parliament on 10 December 2002[3] with a remit "to establish a new system of patient and public involvement in health for England involving traditionally hard to reach groups" – however, there was no agreed budget or management structure in place at that time.[4] The Commission operated from September 2003 until March 2008 when it was replaced with local involvement networks (LINks),[5] involvement mechanisms that extend public involvement to health and social care.
