“…The spectrum of deliberative approaches used in relation to health care issues includes national processes involving citizens in technology appraisal (Einsiedel, 2002), processes involving local residents in setting health care priorities 5 (Abelson et al 2003a;Pickard 1998), through to shared decision-making in patient encounters in general practice (Gwyn & Elwyn, 1999). Central to all these deliberative processes is the reconstruction of the relationship between epistemic claims and democratic accountability through face-to-face deliberation (Bohman, 1999;Pellizzoni, 1999;2001). A strong case is made for the power of communicative rationality as a basis for deliberative democracy in the work of Habermas (1984;, suggesting the over-weaning power of instrumental rationality may be confronted from alternative normative and substantive rationalities within deliberative processes.…”
