The overall responsibility for the delivery of the Falls Prevention and Management service to users will remain the responsibility of the relevant NHS and Social Care organisations.

This will be a time limited function to move from a set of innovative products and approaches to developing a sustainable, scalable and replicable service model. The external programme management resources will be expected to work alongside nominated Programme Leads from within the NHS or Social Care.
