6 Milestones and Responsibilities
This final section sets out the timeframe for the structures to be put in
place and for the delivery of the objectives described in Section 4. Since
many of the recommended structures flow with the stream of change already
taking place in the NHS, some of the timeframes are relatively short. This
section also recommends the agencies responsible for the achievement of
each milestone.
