Subject: FW: Mandatory Consultation for the Respiratory Protective Equipment SOP [OFFICIAL]

Good afternoon,

I am writing to let you know that I have been contacted by our colleagues in Policy Support in addition to this email and told that consultation on the RPE procedure has been withdrawn temporarily. This is good news despite the fact that I have already invested time in preparing a draft departmental response. Nevertheless, in anticipation of a future iteration I thought it may be useful to share the draft response and seek feedback on anything else that you might like to see included.

I have been told that the new plan is to properly draft the procedure and all associated documentation for a new consultation phase. The imposition date is to be removed to allow full consideration of any feedback which may result in further rounds of consultation which can only be seen as a positive step.

If I can be of any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Thanks
