DESCRIPTION:Lord Lansley was formerly a civil servant\, Director of the Co
 nservative Research Department\, Member of Parliament and a Cabinet Minist
 er in the last Coalition government.\n\nLord Lansley will consider how pol
 icy is made\, taking account of evidence and influences\; he will look at 
 how policy-making interacts with the political process\, exploring whether
  politics adds value to the objective work of policy- makers in government
  and beyond\, or whether the two processes\, of government and politics\, 
 tend to conflict in terms of processes and outcomes. He will argue that a 
 clearer focus on outcomes\, both in policy analysis and in politics\, woul
 d enable more transparent democratic accountability and a more synergistic
  relationship between the political process and the demands of government.
