Items for Discussion

4.1

Project Update

Recent Highlight Report tabled.

  • Discussion was had around details from the Highlight Report.

  • Send SCR application IG guide to DP who will adjust to MPCT.

  • A budget is needed to enable tracking.

  • Swine Flu Pandemic needs to be monitored as the SCR helpline may be closed due to staffing.
