The need for Vision UK and co-operation and collaboration within the 4 countries of the UK has broad support – the Vision UK strategy provides both a framework for action and a platform for those in the sector to come together to discuss strategy, progress and barriers/issues. Feedback also clearly underlines the need for greater specificity in the description of objectives/priorities and the requirement for a degree of autonomy in the translation of these objectives/priorities into action plans at country, regional and local level. The 4 Country strategies provide this autonomous leadership to deal with the different conditions in the different countries.
