To develop innovative models of service delivery for community health nursing (CHN) that are consistent with public health principles; workable within the developing primary care structures in Northern Ireland (NI) and have the potential to link primary care, public health, community and secondary care and other relevant interest groups. Such models will be inclusive of all community health nursing disciplines, including midwives, and grounded within the context of public health.

It was seen as time consuming and one of the more onerous of other administrative burdens. There was a distinct lack of clarity over the purposes of the data collection exercise with information going upwards into a bureaucratic ‘black hole’ but rarely coming back down.
