Delivering the UK Vision Strategy

This is an incredibly exciting time as the UK Vision Strategy moves from the strategic planning to the implementation and delivery phase of the programme. So far, the response to the Strategy has been overwhelmingly positive and the motivation for action is high and therefore, in order to maintain that momentum, a challenging programme of events and activity to drive real change and improvement will be delivered throughout 2009.
