Next steps • Development of Stage 2 triangulation database – using agreed inputs from Stage 1 • Assessment of research and BAU insight for populating database and – clear mapping to 4 x pillars of plan – cross reference to high level objectives of engagement strategy eg aims and objectives, wider commitments • Timescale – May/June • Update to Research sub group (26 June) and CCG (4 July) 12
