Next steps for MASH / BSAB: 1. Be ready to work with the MASH by identifying single points of contact within your respective agencies that will be able to respond quickly to requests for information from the MASH (potentially within 2hrs) 2. Begin to consider what role the Board has in relation to the MASH once it is operational – proposals are heading your way!
