Therefore this is especially ideal in a Frequent Attender environment where a person touches multiple agencies and high-risk Frequent Attender can be flagged to those individuals working and accessing the application. In addition they are already experienced in the issues associated with workflow and information governance and are therefore able to meet this very tight timescale of November 2017 for the development and implementation of a proof on concept solution and its support for twelve months.
