“…In its real-world approximations, deliberative democracy comes in two versions, what Hendriks (2002) has called the 'micro' and the 'macro'. The micro version concerns small, self-contained forums such as citizens' juries (Dienel and Renn 1995;Crosby 1998), deliberative polls (Fishkin 1997), consensus conferences (Joss and Durant 1995), even deliberation within parliaments (Bessette 1980;Uhr 1998) and supreme courts (Rawls 1997), all of which have been said to embody deliberative democratic principles, some with more justification than others. The macro version concerns the wider public sphere (Habermas 1996), the ebb and flow of public debate carried on in the media, in private conversations, in formal and informal settings (Mansbridge 1999), from pubs to parliaments and back again.…”

A number of organizations in Britain's National Health Service (NHS) have been experimenting with ‘deliberative’ techniques of citizen involvement, techniques that were designed with democratic imperatives in mind. However, political practices are moulded by their institutional settings and the goals of their proponents, so it is unlikely that they have been left ‘pure’ following their encounter with public management imperatives.This paper offers an explanation for the interest in deliberative processes in the NHS by comparing deliberative and public management imperatives, as well as discussing more case‐specific motivations, drawing on interviews with health policy actors between May and July 2001. I then use those insights to highlight gaps between the deliberative ideal and deliberative practice, showing what has been gained and what has been lost in the encounter between deliberative democracy and new public managers.

“…3. Finally, a discourse with randomly selected citizens as jurors is conducted along the idea of a citizen jury (see above and Dienel, 1989;Dienel and Renn, 1995). These panels evaluate and design policy options based on the knowledge of the likely consequences and their own values and preferences.…”

“…(3) Conducting a discourse with randomly selected citizens as jurors and representatives of interest groups as witnesses: The last step is the evaluation of potential solutions by one group or several groups of randomly selected citizens (Dienel, 1989;Dienel and Renn, 1995;Renn 1999). These panels are given the opportunity to evaluate and design policy options based on the knowledge of the likely consequences and their own values and preferences.…”
