APPGs - All Party Parliamentary Groups (Revisited: One-By-One ...?)

Previously in "How many APPGs does your Garden Grow?", I wondered about the number and variety of APPGs related to health and social care. How do they integrate their work, the inputs, outputs and impact on legislation, policy, safety, standards, delivery of care and sustainability in the future?

There is a 'full' register at:

https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmallparty/220323/register-220323.pdf

Revisiting the previous post and its list of APPGs, extended above, you can see some obvious potential sources of influence for several APPGs.

Scanning the register with the list of APPG by countries, I was disappointed not to see Earth, or Gaia listed. But then they are probably not recognised as 'political' entities? Which is the ongoing challenge in the climate crisis (recognition of ecocide?). 

What about, more reasonably 'Global Health'? This was not listed as a country, but further reading is rewarded. There it is - 'Global Health':

[ The link in the register is currently broken. ]

I should have remembered this APPG having posted before:

https://hodges-model.blogspot.com/2016/10/triple-impact-nursing.html

On the radio this past week I heard mention of Transparency International and published recommendations to control lobbying, prevent corruption and malign influences of sponsorship.

This post also helps inform a paper on Hodges' model, Early Intervention in Psychoses and research.

There are so many APPGs related to health, and associated with the purposes of Hodges' model.

One discovery - I must follow the APPG on Health Infrastructure.
