National Good Food Nation Plan Section 7: Reporting
19.The Scottish Ministers must publish a report on progress against the indicators set out in the national good food nation plan as soon as practicable after each period of 2 years, beginning on the date the first plan is published and laid before the Scottish Parliament. The timing of the reporting requirement runs independently from the timing of the requirement to review and revise the plan provided for in section 8.
20.Where a report states that any outcome in the plan is not being achieved, subsection (2) requires the report to set out the view of the Scottish Ministers as to whether the policies set out in relation to that outcome remain sufficient, and if so, their reasons for determining that they remain sufficient, or, in the instance where they conclude that they are no longer sufficient, what action the Scottish Ministers intend to take to address this.
