This Fund has an annual management and accreditation process, and a need to comply with a national performance framework, all of which is completed by ASC as we administer the fund on behalf of the Health. There is also currently a separate review process commissioned by the Alliance and supported by the ADASS. The programme management function has to date been managed by SLW Consulting Ltd and they are actively involved with the group overseeing the review. In addition SLW Consulting Ltd are taking forward the business case for the development of the Whiteacres residential care facility in South Ockendon to replace the failing care home Collins House.
