Payment for Involvement scheme (PfIS)
The aim of the scheme is to make a small payment to voluntary and community sector representatives in recognition of their time, contribution and expertise in the advancement of health sector planning, service delivery and evaluation. Following an evaluation and sorting out of many of the operational difficulties, the scheme has been re-launched and it is now much easier for community and voluntary sector groups, service users and carers to benefit from this funding. It is hoped that by showing that if the scheme can operate effectively then people will use it and it should therefore be taken on the PCT as a mainstream public and patient involvement project.
Expenses for travel and childcare or carers respite is available to claimants in addition to the payment scheme.
The scheme operates for many of the PCT public involvement and joint working meetings. If you think your meeting may be eligible please contact Kathy Doyle on 020 8795 6220 or Kathy.doyle@brentpct.nhs.uk |
