Submissions and Consultation

The Innovation Taskforce issued a public request for submissions to assist and inform it in its work. 113 submissions were received. These submissions were reviewed by members of the Taskforce and fed into it's deliberations on the content of the final Report of the group.

108 of those who submitted to the Taskforce agreed to the publication of their submissions, to facilitate debate and raise awareness in relation to the work of the Taskforce. A list of submissions is attached below and can be accessed by clicking on the links.

A 'Summary of Submissions to the Innovation Taskforce' which explores some of the proposals and themes contained in the submissions is attached.

In addition to the written consultation process, the Taskforce hosted an informal Consultation Seminar on 19th October 2009 with invited Stakeholders, while the Taskforce Sub-Groups held a wide range of meetings with relevant individuals and organisations.
