The Nuffield Council on Bioethics
In July 2004, the Council held a scoping Workshop, involving a range of experts, to examine the range of ethical issues raised in the context of
public health. As a result of the discussions that took place, the Council decided to form a Working Party to examine the issues further.
The first meeting took place in January 2006. Drawing on case studies, the Working Party is focussing on the difficulties in balancing individual choice and community benefit.
The group will meet throughout 2006 and 2007, and their discussions will be informed by a number of fact-finding meetings. Members of the public,
professionals and organisations will be invited to contribute to a consultation exercise in the summer of 2006. The period of consultation will
last for four months. All comments received will be considered by the Working Party. The Council plans to publish its report in autumn 2007.
