| Annotation | Confidentiality has tended to be disconnected from wider debates about citizenship and social inclusion. In this article, the rights discourse, as a component of active consumer citizenship, is considered in relation to the perspectives of "interests" and "will". The arguments that support moving in the direction of a critical "will" perspective, through deliberative processes involving service users in developing and framing information rights, are highlighted and linked to data from a small-scale empirical study. This perspective is regarded as consistent with a politically dynamic formulation of social citizenship. Such a formulation involves seeing citizenship as a practice that requires ongoing debates about claims to rights, moves in the direction of seeking to rectify imbalances in power, and recognises the capacity of service users to act in their own interests as citizens.
