A PPM approach within NHSScotland Bodies can also be applied at stepped levels of programme and project management, i.e.
• At SGHD level to oversee and co-ordinate all NHSScotland Bodies' capital programmes in line with strategic and national priorities;
• At NHS Board level to manage and co-ordinate the Board's capital programme in line with local priorities
• At Directorate level (i.e. Capital Planning) to manage and co-ordinate major projects within the capital programme;
• At service/planning level to manage and co-ordinate complex service development projects with several interdependent sub-project deliverables, i.e. linked mental health, care of the elderly and learning difficulties.
