15. 'Lived experience' is a widely used term in current policy discourse. With its origins in phenomenology, it has many interpretations, and can risk being tokenistic or creating an 'other'. What matters is the genuine participation in decision-making of those who are most affected by the issues addressed in this report.

16. The term 'inverse care law' has been used since the 1970s to describe how the availability of good health care tends to vary inversely in relation to population health needs.
