Director’s Report on Food Safety – the paper includes an update on Scores on the Doors (paragraphs 30–32). However, since the paper was circulated to the Board, two applications for grant funding (covering a total of eight local authorities in England and accounting for £48,000) have been withdrawn. The authorities concerned are unable to devote the local resources required to complete the planned project activities in the short time available before the end of the financial year. They have, however, confirmed their commitment to adopt the national scheme and the Agency will work closely with them so that they may do so.

The number of authorities in receipt of grant funding is now 88 (66 in England, 21 in Wales and 1 in Northern Ireland).
