It is recognised that different projects and different Boards will require different lead in periods from the point of consultation to the submission to the Capital Investment Group (see CIG timetable on www.pfcu.scot.nhs.uk/CIG.htm). Therefore In order to provide the above services in a timely manner project teams are advised to establish an early dialogue with HFS and keep them informed of the project programme and key dates. Teams are also encouraged to maintain the dialogue, particularly at key design development points, rather than waiting always until the formal reporting points in the business case, to ensure that risks can be identified and addressed timeously.
