Policy highlights of 2010

24th December 2010

Over the past week ePolitix.com has hosted a number of exclusive articles highlighting the campaign, event and legislative successes of our Members in 2010, and promoting their ambitions for the New Year.

The undoubted political news story of the year may have been the general election and the subsequent formation of a coalition government, but our Members have touched on a broad and diverse range of topics.

Subjects addressed include social care, the retail sector, homelessness, the NHS and the timber industry.

Describing 2010 as a 'politically tumultuous year', Su Sayer of United Response discusses October's comprehensive spending review and the role of the Big Society in social care.

Stephen Robertson of the British Retail Consortium urges the government to avoid an excess of rules and regulations going into 2011, Homeless Link recalls the impact of its general election manifesto and MEND analyses the NHS white paper.

We have also heard about the impact of biomass subsidies on the timber industry.

And the fun doesn't stop there!

Over the Christmas period you can also read about the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health's thoughts on the public health white paper and CPRE's engagement with ministers on High Speed 2.

As if that wasn't enough, any post-Christmas blues can be overcome by deliberating on the Institute of Customer Service's views on the government's skills policy, and by ruminating on the achievements of the National Office of Animal Health in what has proved to be 'a very busy year' for the animal medicines industry.
