County Borough Council's participation in the Wales Evaluation Study on best value, via its pilot project on Service to People with
Visual Impairment, affords the Council the opportunity to help develop the concept of Best Value and adopt a co-ordinated approach to the delivery of all services to people with a visual impairment. This approach is intended to lead to improvements in efficiency, effectiveness and economy for the user as well as ensuring equal and equitable access to services. Report conducted by BCBC with Wales Council for the Blind.

technology will enable more accurate information to be gathered than is possible using existing, paper-based systems.
