Growth Board Scrutiny Panel Work Plan

The Growth Board Scrutiny Panel agrees its own Work Plan, which is reviewed at each meeting. The Panel is encouraged to be strict in prioritising key issues for review, in addition to the entirety of the Growth Board’s forthcoming agendas, which will feature as a standard item on the Work Plan.
