Our analysis highlighted several barriers that patients and their family\/carers face when contributing to this part of healthcare policy formation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings suggest that the parliamentary inquiry process in its current form is not an ideal vehicle by which patients and family\/carers can contribute or influence healthcare policy. Despite calling for submissions from patients and their family\/carers, the final report and subsequent health policy recommendations made by the inquiry do not appear to be patient-centric or reflective of the submissions written by these stakeholders. Increased transparency, development of processes to balance stakeholder priorities and improved accessibility for stakeholders to participate are needed if health-related parliamentary inquiries are to produce healthcare policy that ultimately meets the needs of patients and family\/carers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1071\/ah21156","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,5]],"date-time":"2022-04-05T05:54:43Z","timestamp":1649138083000},"page":"233-243","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["How patient centric is health policy development?
