• The collaboration and decision-making arrangements that already existed between Organisations CCGs were built upon to bring providers and wider stakeholders within the sphere of influence.

• Attain fulfilled an important communications role throughout the establishment of the governance structure and PMO, ensuring engagement and information sharing across key stakeholders and many other partners throughout the region.
