Legal Justification

"Existing provider: SLaM already delivers related mental health services, including the DD HOP post. Only suitable provider: As the local NHS mental health trust, SLaM is the only provider able to deliver this statutory service. No viable alternative: The specialist nature of the service means there's no realistic alternative to ensure continuity and quality."
