Summary
The delivery of Post Mortem Toxicology services has been a joint project with Forensic Services and Police Scotland working together to implement this service for COPFS. The project has been structured around the following work-streams: Estates; Procurement: ICT: HR/Legal; Communications; Finance; and Forensic Services. Project Management has been provided by an external provider.
The project has now been successfully delivered and 23 staff transferred via TUPE transfer on 1st December. This is major achievement given the high degree of complexity involved in Toxicology and the challenges of delivering to a fixed date.
The successful delivery of this project is a superb example of the benefits of partnership working with Scottish Government, Police Scotland, Scottish Police Authority, COPFS, University of Glasgow, Trades Unions and our external Project Management provider, all working effectively to achieve the common goal.
