The first steps have been taken to initiate a programme towards the attainment of BS5750 with the commit- ment to customer care being an inher- ent part of the Agency's programme of total quality management. As an inte- gral part of this initiative, the Agency has already embarked on a programme of team building which is showing posi- tive results.
