The 'Together We Can' action plan (part 1 and part 2) has been released by the Government Civic Renewal Unit. It aims to build the capacity of communities to influence public policies and services, and to develop more opportunities for that capacity to be exercised. The action points detailed in the plan represent a selection of initiatives designed to empower the public to shape policies which affect them in eight key public policy areas, including the implementation of the Choosing Health White Paper.
