The information on whether each primary care trust will have established the post of director of continence services is not collected centrally.
The National Service Framework for Older People includes a milestone that, by April 2004, all local health and social care systems should have established an integrated continence service.
Each National Health Service trust is responsible for creating its own business plan which shows how it will deploy its resources to deliver on both national and local priorities and fit within the plans of its PCT commissioners. These local plans will not be anlaysed centrally.
Strategic health authorities will bring together those PCT plans into a comprehensive local delivery plan for their area.
