SC presented an update on the work being taken forward by the Paperless 2020
Communications team. An external agency has been appointed by the Paperless 2020
Communications team to lead on the development of a data sharing communications
strategy, Munro and Forster. The period of Purdah has had a direct impact on the work
being taken forward by the agency. It was agreed that the Communications team will create
