Who was appointed to the ERG?
An External Reference Group (ERG) was appointed and began work in late 2002. It is chaired by Diana Whitworth, formerly of Carers’ UK, with Lynne Turner-Stokes, Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine at King’s College Hospital in London as her Deputy. The rest of the membership was drawn from health and social care professionals, service users and carers and representatives from the voluntary sector. The ERG also established various working groups to help develop possible standards for inclusion in the NSF.
