3 William Moreno 5.1 WM shared KNP Health & Nature Working Group Draft Action Plan WM summarised the suggested actions for the plan and explained how everything fits into 3 main categories; 1. Evidence and Monitoring 2. Communication and Engagement 3. Project Implementation 5.3 SO requested that section 1.1 of the draft plan be amended to show that the 30k budget comes from KCC Public Health, not Medway. SO also requested a change to show that the plan drew from both Medway and KCC Joint H&WB strategies which are discrete documents. SO offered to send more written comments. 5.4 JF stated that they struggled with the action plan as a working document and felt it was not focussed and lacks flow. JF followed by saying that if we get the document right it gives a complete picture. CW stated similar belief that this is too complex as a frontline working document and needs to remain internal. 5.5 CW expressed belief that we need a snappier 1-pager for sharing. 5.6 AF said that the group needs a PID for each element. AF also stated that the document lacks timescales for each element. AF followed that each element needs to state how it fits with the Terms of Reference of the group. KR agreed that it is not clear what each project element requires. 5.7 WM stated an understanding that needs input from the group to complete the plan especially on things from health around the evidence base. 5.8 JF stated a belief that there needs to be a clear update to the output/outcome column. JF agreed that this needs to be concise. Perhaps the round the table update at each meeting can be incorporated here. 6.
