Consultations

Every year IPEM responds to a whole range of consultations from all sorts of public bodies, everything from government departments and House of Commons and House of Lords select committees, to NHS organisations and other regulatory bodies, such as the Health & Safety Executive. The expertise and experience of our members is vital to enable IPEM to respond to such consultations with an authoritative voice.

Wherever possible, once a consultation has concluded and the organisation has published its report or response, the link will take you to the published document or relevant webpage.
