From Monday, 5th October 2009, the Offices of the National Director for Primary, Community and Continuing Care and the National Director for Hospitals have merged into a new Integrated Service Directorate.

The Integrated Services Directorate aims to simplify the way many of our services are delivered and make it much easier for patients and service users to access them.
