Details

This guidance is intended to support the collaborative arrangements that are already in place between agencies with managing health protection incidents and outbreaks. This provides a framework which partners can use in response to cases of an infectious disease or another health protection incident.

The Outbreak Management Plan Agreement (Appendix 8) is to be signed by partners responsible for the management of outbreaks and health protection incidents in secure settings.
