In April 1991, the government announced the development of a new research and development programme for the NHS. Professor Michael Peckham was duly appointed Director and the first strategy document appeared in September of the same year (DOH, 1991). The suitably broad objective of the strategy is to “ensure that the content and delivery of care in the NHS is based on high quality research relevant to improving the health of the nation”.
