| When it is felt appropriate, the Guild - usually through the Joint
Ethico-Medical Committee (JE-MC) makes submissions to government and other bodies.
This is usually in response to a consultation document from that body. The Joint Ethico-Medical Committee is composed of members drawn from the two parent bodies, the Catholic Union of Great Britain and the Guild of Catholic Doctors. The Catholic Union is an organisation of the Catholic Laity which is not affiliated to the hierarchy and which represents the Catholic viewpoint, where relevant, in Parliamentary and legislative matters. The Guild of Catholic Doctors represents Catholic Medical Practitioners of the United Kingdom. |
