WGPC is concerned that 6 months to get an updated NP to examination could be punitive to communities. If CDC overtake community NP progress with imposed sites this would wholly undermine the good work of NPs. We don't think 6 months is realistic. Assuming all communities were able to synchronise updating their NPs simultaneously, we seriously doubt that CDC has considered its ability to engage with all at the same time. Surely this target is set up to fail? WGPC recommends this time limit is removed or extended as it is unrealistic and risks undermining principles of NPs.
