In addition to lists of frequencies and / or minutes with permanent education actions, Permanent Education Plan carried out by the management in 2017 and Municipal Health Plan2014-2017. The results showed that permanent education is positively self-assessed by both. In relation to the other documents, there were weaknesses in the planning and execution of these actions.
