*Mental Health Lead is 8d for LATs with a high secure hospital. For all other specialised LATs this post is 8c
** To achieve economies of scale and improved processes, it is proposed that two functions should be provided by one team across the
region for all LATs. The national transition team have acknowledged that individual funding requests are best administered at a regional level.
