PART ONE

Following Government announcements today (Monday) our first panel will reflect on the following questions from their own perspective:

• What has changed?

• What stayed the same?

• What are the key priorities now?

• How can we work together to achieve those priorities?

Panel members will include colleagues from local & regional government, NHS and Public Health England, Business, Voluntary Faith and Community Sectors.
