Ways of working Most (8) happy for the group to meet 3 times a year (with 4 prefer 2x and 5 prefer 4x). Most thought subgroups were useful with a focus on short life working groups on new issues (11). Most (13) preferred suggestion for an annual work plan on priority topics for more in-depth consideration with some preference (4) for suggestion of covering priority topics at each meeting. View were split: either new issues should be submitted in preparation for meetings (6) or having a dedicated annual planning session to horizon scan on emerging new issues (6). Most (14) thought evidence could be contributed to group discussion though focused work relevant to priority issues.

Emerging Issues Group membership : wide range of interests Group purpose : working well providing advice and identifying issues, not working as well supporting wider service delivery and communication with external stakeholders? Group Priorities: which issues are priority for the CYPHSG? What action should CYPHSG take? Group ways of working: how address new issues?
