	Why?

6.	Are there any other topics not included in our plans that you think we should cover and why?

7.	Where would your proposals fit with the priorities you have already identified?

8.	Do any of our plans cut across other work, either ongoing or planned, that we might need to take into account, on which we might collaborate or that might cause us to rethink our own plans?

9.	Are there any topics, whether included in our plans or not, on which you would welcome good practice products or opportunities for shared learning with other organisations?

Thank you for taking the time to respond to this consultation
