15.1 Building on the work carried out to date, SFT can provide some support in relation to accommodation projects in relation to:
15.1.1 the initial survey;
15.1.2 identifying the issues in relation to ownership of the Facility;
15.1.3 applying the contract so as to ensure that the standard of maintenance and lifecycle replacement is met;
15.1.4 developing a project plan;
15.1.5 implementing the project plan,
all subject to review on an annual basis.
15.2 As noted above in relation to health projects, there is a Joint Board that is responsible for the programme of work of the NHS specialist support team and it has been taking a similar approach to SFT.
