Thanks Stephen. I would be interested to hear the outcome of your
evaluation. I am also interested to hear of anyone that has done research
into GP consultations where the GP and patient share the same
linguistic/cultural background?
Many thanks

We are soon to undertake evaluation of interpreting services through focus
groups commissioned from community organisations, in various languages. If
Sam is not mistaken, we have already decided the outcome, which would
probably make it a waste of effort, but I'd be happy to let anyone have more
details on request. We have also provided interpreters for some recent
research into TB treatment. Same reservations and offer apply, all the best,
Stephen

Hietal,
No.
But one can assume where they do use interpreters or translate the material,
they ask the same meaningless questions designed to get the answers they
want.
