"The inquiry team has set up a Website that will ask users for
contributions and chart the progress of the inquiry.
It will be updated each night and will provide full transcripts of each
day's proceedings."
"Although the BSE Inquiry also has a Website providing coverage of
proceedings, Richard Green, a spokesman for the Bristol Royal Infirmary
Inquiry, described its site as "the first of its type".
It differs from the BSE site by encouraging people to contribute to the
hearings and by being in place before the inquiry starts.
Mr Green said: "We hope to allow people who either can't get to the
hearings or can't get to them regularly to get the latest information
about where we are.
"We're trying to get people to come to us."
People will be able to contribute via e-mail, telephone, fax or letter.
The team has set up a local-rate telephone number for submissions.
Anyone who makes a contribution via any medium will be asked if they
wish to make a formal written statement.
This will then be entered into the evidence for the inquiry.
