A: Management (PDF 85K)
Objectives
This part of the Handbook deals with the management of NHSScotland property transactions which is the responsibility of Holding Bodies. Without proper management property transactions are likely to take longer and cost more than necessary to complete. The efficient and effective management of transactions will assist the Holding Body to achieve the best outcome for the public interest.
Failure to discharge this responsibility effectively can leave the Chief Executive of the Holding Body open to serious criticism from the Scottish Parliament and audit.
Framework
The key general management issues on property transactions are dealt with in this Section of the Handbook, as are some of the practical issues such as option appraisal and post-transaction monitoring which form the cornerstones of the arrangements for NHSScotland property transactions.
