Dear Dr Lloyd

Re: Community and District Nursing Services

Thank you for your letter of 8 February 2019 addressed to Carol Shillabeer, Chief Executive, regarding Community and District Nursing Services. I have been asked to provide you with the information requested. Please find enclosed an excel spreadsheet detailing:
