Scottish Tobacco Control Alliance work plan 2006 to 2009
The STCA Work Plan 2006 to 2009
During 2006 the STCA membership took part in a consultation excercise that led to the creation of a flexible work plan covering a three-year period. The plan is subject to evaluation and review every six months by the Coordinating group. The STCA Coordinator provides an annual report to the Coordinating Group in May of each year.
