Abstract

Ethical committees which review medical research need consitutions to help ensure continuity, clarity and consistency of purpose, and moral soundness. An adequate constitution must embody decision procedures which reflect a concern for clearly defined remit and scope, independence from bias and compromise, and accountability to the public, the health authorities and the researchers.
