7.2 Executive Business – see report attached
Executive Report
Membership of the Executive group is a two year position which would be need
to be renewed in May 2011. As the WPCP funding cycle is three years and will
be reviewed next year, it was suggested that the call for new Exec member
nominations be deferred until this date. As funding post 2012 is not guaranteed
as yet this would provide continuity and save time. This idea must be approved
by Level 1 members, of course.
Jo will send out an email to members to determine their opinion on this idea.
The Dept of Health attended the last executive meeting and was very positive
about the WPCP and what was happening.

made up 7 sections – however for the purpose of developing the plan
Section 3 has been separated out of the plan. When the final Plan is
completed, members will receive a more comprehensive plan which

Further work will need to occur regarding timelines and key agencies
following up with strategies / activities. This work will be done by the

a part of these groups, please contact me either by phone or email.
