The review will be overseen by a Project Management Group, a sub-committee of the NFC Reference Group. The consultant will report to this group, which will report to the NFC Reference Group. The consultant will liaise with the NFC Secretariat, the administrative body for the NFC Reference Group, for operational issues such as the co-ordination of visits to the sites providing the service and meetings with the Project Management Group. Independent medical experts relevant to this service would need to be contracted by the consultant.
