The Diabetes information strategy, and the Diabetes national service framework: Delivery Strategy that it supports, were launched alongside one another in January 2003.

The Mental Health information strategy describes the way in which information systems and underpinning work can be developed to support modern mental health care delivery. It maps out a path from existing inadequately Mental Health information systems to the precision of integrated information systems to support integrated care, and puts forward a five-year programme to integrate and upgrade the technology used in mental health settings.
The information strategy for older people in England was developed in response to the information demands of the Older People's national service framework. It identifies mechanisms for delivering at risk registers for falls and strokes and provides a supporting framework for the Single Assessment Process.
Implementation of the Renal services information strategy will help deliver the national service framework (NSF) for renal services through the provision of tools and resources. In particular, the information strategy supports the NSF around national comparative audit and provision of nationally available data to support planning and identify local priorities.
Resources for all those in primary care - whether based in general practice, the community or in PCTs - involved in implementing NSFs.
