This project has significant research based on the management of Frequent Flyers and Locality Solutions is the one supplier capable of meeting the Health Boards unique requirements to complete the pilot work to have a proof of concept to meet the demands of the timetable set by the Welsh Government and the winter pressures.

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 12 months.
