Item 1

Welcome from the Chair

A welcome from Dr. Emma Lunan.

Around the screen introductions.

Minutes of the September meeting agreed.

A note that the meeting will not be minuted but an action note will be circulated following each coalition meeting – this is due to a lack of administrative resources for the project.
