Section 3.2 of the proposed scheme, notes the adopting and agreement of the work programme linked to the corporate plan. It is most welcome that SPC members are provided with time to consider and respond to the draft work programme. The PPN suggests that a report on submissions is returned to the SPCs following consideration by the CPG (i.e. The CPG will notify SPC members on the submissions received, any changes that arose, the agreed matters for inclusion, and the priority of work programme issues to be explored.).

This is in the best interests of empowering sectoral participation in the SPC Scheme.
