“This book has interesting themes for policymakers and those interested in the participation and engagement process, particularly around what constitutes ‘participation’ and how this is responded to. Whilst focused on examples from Scotland, the themes identified by Stewart have wider resonance as she raises insightful questions about the nature of participation, which health services should be grappling with as they continue to face fiscal pressure and have to make difficult decisions around disinvestment.” (Sarah-Jane Fenton, Social Policy & Administration, Vol. 51 (7), December, 2017)​
