The Department does not issue circulars to the national health service or local authorities. It provides guidance to the NHS and local authority chief executives through an e-mail bulletin called The Week, which brings together latest news, consultations and events for chief executives and their teams. It highlights areas for action and includes links to resources and more information.

The Department has launched 45 public consultations between 1 May 2010-30 April 2012.
